Abstract
A method can include determining metadata for a file responsive to initiating an operation on the file stored within a client system and determining a storage location within a file repository of a master version of the file from the metadata. The method also can include determining, from the storage location, whether the master version of the file is more recent than the file stored within the client system using a processor of the client system.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- responsive to initiating an operation on a file stored within a client system, determining metadata for the file;
- determining a storage location within a file repository of a master version of the file from the metadata;
- and
- determining, from the storage location, whether the master version of the file is more recent than the file stored within the client system using a processor of the client system.
A system comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith;
- and
- a processor coupled to the computer readable storage medium, wherein responsive to executing the computer readable program code, the processor is configured to:
- determine metadata for a file responsive to initiating an operation on the file;
- determine a storage location within a file repository of a master version of the file from the metadata;
- and
- determine, from the storage location, whether the master version of the file is more recent than the file within the system.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code configured to determine metadata for a file stored within a client system responsive to initiating an operation on the file;
- computer readable program code configured to determine a storage location within a file repository of a master version of the file from the metadata;
- and
- computer readable program code configured to determine, from the storage location, whether the master version of the file is more recent than the file stored within the client system.
