A system and a method provides for flexible storage of digital data in a networked-computer system by unifying distribute data storage locations. The system and method allow an e-application operating at a network site, such as an Internet Web site, to utilize distributed storage devices that reside at remote client locations for storing data resulting from execution of the e-application. In an embodiment, the system includes a storage proxy and registry that attempts to "discover" storage at the e-application site or at the remote client locations. The storage proxy and registry may use various routines and algorithms to determine where data should be stored. Alternatively, the system may use a default storage location. In this alternative, the system may require the remote client location to store all or part of the data associated with the e-application.
