In one embodiment, a client node generates a listing of files associated with a user account, where the listing includes one or more files that are stored remotely on a server system without being synchronized to local storage of the client node. The client node further receives a request to access a file from the listing and determines whether the file is stored locally on the client node. If the file is not stored locally on the client node, the client node discovers peer client nodes that are coupled with the client node and determines whether the file is stored locally on any peer client node. If the file is stored locally on a peer client node, the client node retrieves the file from the peer client node. If the file is not stored locally on any peer client node, the client node retrieves the file from the server system. |
