Abstract
An apparatus for providing sub-file level synchronization may include a processor configured to receive an indication of a change to a portion of a file, generate a file identifier in response to the receipt of the indication, the file identifier including a sub-file identification indicative of the portion of the file, and enable synchronization of the portion of the file based on the sub-file identification. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided.
Claims27
A method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a change to a portion of a file;
- generating, at a device capable of storing files, a file identifier in response to the receipt of the indication, the file identifier including a sub-file identification indicative of the portion of the file;
- and
- enabling synchronization of the portion of the file based on the sub-file identification.
A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising:
- program code instructions for receiving an indication of a change to a portion of a file;
- program code instructions for generating a file identifier in response to the receipt of the indication, the file identifier including a sub-file identification indicative of the portion of the file;
- and
- program code instructions for enabling synchronization of the portion of the file based on the sub-file identification.
An apparatus comprising a processor configured to:
- receive an indication of a change to a portion of a file;
- generate a file identifier in response to the receipt of the indication, the file identifier including a sub-file identification indicative of the portion of the file;
- and
- enable synchronization of the portion of the file based on the sub-file identification.
A method comprising:
- receiving a file identifier including a sub-file identification indicative of a portion of a file changed at another device, the file changed at the other device corresponding to a locally stored file;
- receiving the portion of the file changed at the other device;
- and
- enabling synchronization, at a device capable of storing files, of the locally stored file based on the received portion of the file changed.
A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising:
- program code instructions for receiving a file identifier including a sub-file identification indicative of a portion of a file changed at another device, the file changed at the other device corresponding to a locally stored file;
- program code instructions for receiving the portion of the file changed at the other device;
- and
- program code instructions for enabling synchronization of the locally stored file based on the received portion of the file changed.
An apparatus comprising a processor configured to:
- receive a file identifier including a sub-file identification indicative of a portion of a file changed at another device, the file changed at the other device corresponding to a locally stored file;
- receive the portion of the file changed at the other device;
- and
- enable synchronization of the locally stored file based on the received portion of the file changed.
