Systems and methods for providing access to a data file stored at a data storage system

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the memory, to:
• receive, at an application server hosting a plurality of applications and from a user device, a first request to create a data file that is to be stored at a third-party storage server;
• responsive to receiving the first request to create the data file that is to be stored at the third-party storage server, send, by the application server and to the third-party storage server, a second request indicating that the data file is to be created at the third-party storage server;
• receive, from the third-party storage server, an indication that the data file has been created at the third-party storage server;
• responsive to receiving the indication that the data file has been created at the third-party storage server, generate, by the application server, an instance of the data file that is stored at the application server;
• and
• provide, by the application server and to the user device, the instance of the data file for edit via a relevant application of the plurality of applications hosted by the application server.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, responsive to execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, at an application server hosting a plurality of applications and from a user device, a first request to create a data file that is to be stored at a third-party storage server;
• responsive to receiving the first request to create the data file that is to be stored at the third-party storage server, sending, by the application server and to the third-party storage server, a second request indicating that the data file is to be created at the third-party storage server;
• receiving, from the third-party storage server, an indication that the data file has been created at the third-party storage server;
• responsive to receiving the indication that the data file has been created at the third-party storage server, generating, by the application server, an instance of the data file that is stored at the application server;
• and
• providing, by the application server and to the user device, the instance of the data file for edit via a relevant application of the plurality of applications hosted by the application server.
