Synchronized content library

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed being effective to cause a client device to:

• send, by the client device, a synchronization request to a content management system, the synchronization request identifying a first position in a content journal, the content journal including a list of content entries identifying a position in the content journal that is equal to a last content entry identifying changes to a collection of content items in the content library that have been received by the client device;
• receive, in response to the synchronization request, from the content management system by the client device, synchronization data identifying a portion of the content journal representing changes made to the content library that have not been received by the client device, the portion of the content journal identified by the first position in the content journal and a second position in the content journal, the second position in the content journal identifying a position in the content journal that is equal to a last content entry identifying changes to the collection of content items in the content library that have not been received by the client device;
• and
• update, by the client device, the collection of content items on the client device based on the received synchronization data.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising processor executable instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by the processor are effective to cause a client device to:
• send, by the client device, a synchronization request to a content management system, the synchronization request identifying a first position in a content journal, the content journal including a list of content entries identifying a position in the content journal that is equal to a last content entry identifying changes to a collection of content items in the content library that have been received by the client device;
• receive, in response to the synchronization request, from the content management system by the client device, synchronization data identifying a portion of the content journal representing changes made to the content library that have not been received by the client device, the portion of the content journal identified by the first position in the content journal and a second position in the content journal, the second position in the content journal identifying a position in the content journal that is equal to a last content entry identifying changes to the collection of content items in the content library that have not been received by the client device;
• and
• update, by the client device, the collection of content items on the client device based on the received synchronization data.
