<p>A multi-user file storage service and system enable each user of a pre-subscribed user group to operate an arbitrary client node at an arbitrary geographic location, to communicate with a remote file server node (61, 62) via a wide area network and to access the files of the file group via the respective client node in communication with the remote file server node (61, 62) via the wide area network. More than one user of the pre-subscriber user group is permitted to access the file group at the remote file server node (61, 62) simultaneously. Illustratively, the integrity of the files at the remote file server node (61, 62) are maintained by controlling each access to each file at the remote file server node (61, 62), if at all, on a respective portion of each file as most recently updated at the remote file server node (61, 62).</p> |
