User device processing of information from a network-accessible collaboration system

A method for client-side processing of remotely-stored collaboration system information, the method comprising:

• issuing one or more first requests from a user device of a user in a collaboration event for an access to server-side collaboration data from a collaboration system server;
• receiving additional server-side collaboration data from the collaboration system based at least in part on a prediction, wherein the prediction is generated based at least in part upon at least one collaboration activity by the user and one or more additional users on at least some of the server-side collaboration data in an additional collaboration event;
• storing at least a portion of the server-side collaboration data and a portion of the additional server-side collaboration data on the user device to form locally-stored collaboration system information within a local file system at the user device;
• and
• processing a user input at least by searching the locally-stored collaboration system information without performing a separate access to remotely-stored collaboration system information for the additional server-side collaboration data.

A system for client-side processing of remotely-stored collaboration system information, the system comprising:

• a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions;
• and
• one or more processors that execute the sequence of instructions to cause the one or more processors to perform a set of acts, the set of acts comprising:
• issuing one or more first requests from a user device of a user in a collaboration event for an access to server-side collaboration data from a collaboration system server;
• receiving additional server-side collaboration data from the collaboration system server based at least in part on a prediction, wherein the prediction is generated based at least in part upon at least one collaboration activity by the user and one or more additional users on at least some of the server-side collaboration data in an additional collaboration event;
• storing at least a portion of the server-side collaboration data and a portion of the additional server-side collaboration data on the user device to form locally-stored collaboration system information within a local file system at the user device;
• and
• processing user input at least by searching the locally-stored collaboration system information without performing a separate access to remotely-stored collaboration system information for the additional server-side collaboration data.
