File system monitoring in a system which incrementally updates clients with events that occurred in a cloud-based collaboration platform

A system for resolving race conditions when incrementally updating remote clients with what occurred in a cloud-based platform, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• in response to an event which represents that a modification to an item has taken place on a cloud-based platform, identify whether execution of the event is to violate any local file system rule;
• if the execution of the event is to violate any local file system rule, buffer the event until a subsequent event arrives;
• and
• identify whether execution of an aggregate of the events is to violate any local file system rule.

A system, comprising:

• means for, in response to an event which represents that a modification to an item has taken place on a cloud-based platform, identifying whether execution of the event is to violate any local file system rule;
• means for, if the execution of the event is to violate any local file system rule, buffering the event until a subsequent event arrives;
• and
• means for identifying whether execution of an aggregate of the events is to violate any local file system rule.
