The disclosed technology can enable application data to be stored with an online content management system. In some embodiments, a user's application installed on a first computing device can send application data, such as current state information of the application, to be stored on the network service. If the user's application is also installed on at least a second computing, then the application data (e.g., current state information) stored with the content management system can be transmitted to at least the second computing device, thereby causing the application data for the user's application to be synced with respect to both the first device and the at least the second device. As such, data for the user's application can be synced among multiple, different platforms (e.g., computing devices running different operating systems). Moreover, the disclosed technology can provide approaches to managing conflicts among application data to be synced.
