MULTIPLE PLATFORM DATA STORAGE AND SYNCHRONIZATION

摘要

The disclosed technology can enable application data to be stored with an online content management system. In some embodiments, a user's application installed on a first computing device can send application data, such as current state information of the application, to be stored on the network service. If the user's application is also installed on at least a second computing, then the application data (e.g., current state information) stored with the content management system can be transmitted to at least the second computing device, thereby causing the application data for the user's application to be synced with respect to both the first device and the at least the second device. As such, data for the user's application can be synced among multiple, different platforms (e.g., computing devices running different operating systems). Moreover, the disclosed technology can provide approaches to managing conflicts among application data to be synced.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for managing application data using an online content management system, the method comprising:
communicating with a first version of an application installed on a first computing device, the first version of the application being associated with a user account; receiving, from the first version of the application installed on the first computing device, data about a state of the first version of the application associated with the user account; communicating with at least a second version of the application installed on at least a second computing device, the at least the second version of the application also being associated with the user account; and transmitting, to at least the second version of the application installed on at least the second computing device, the data about the state of the first version, wherein the data about the state of the first version is capable of being utilized, at least in part, to configure the second version to have a state synced with the first version, and wherein the first computing device and the second computing device are running different operating systems.
