Systems and methods for synchronization event building and/or collapsing by a synchronization component of a cloud-based platform

A method of generating synchronization events associated with a synchronization component of a cloud-based platform, the method comprising:

• detecting that a folder on a filesystem has been changed;
• generating a new snapshot of the filesystem that is consistent;
• retrieving a reference snapshot of the filesystem;
• generating item changes by differencing the new snapshot from the reference snapshot;
• and
• using the item changes to generate the synchronization events for execution on an opposing file system.

A system, comprising:

• means for generating file system notifications, wherein the notifications include information about files or folders that have been changed;
• means for determining item changes based on a consistent snapshot of a folder whose children have changed and a reference snapshot of the folder in response to the file system notifications;
• means for generating raw events by ordering the item changes and producing a set of executable actions;
• and
• means for generating synchronization events by mapping file system identifiers to logical identifiers for execution on an opposing file system.

A method of handling failed synchronization events by a synchronization component of a cloud-based platform, comprising:

• detecting a failed synchronization event associated with a synchronization item;
• identifying a subsequent synchronization event associated with the synchronization item to collapse with the failed synchronization event;
• and
• re-executing the collapsed synchronization event on an opposing file system.

A system for handling failed synchronization events associated with a cloud-based platform, comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor in communication with the memory and configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
• detect a failed synchronization event associated with a synchronization item;
• identify a subsequent synchronization event associated with the synchronization item to combine with the failed synchronization event to generate a modified synchronization event;
• and
• re-execute the modified synchronization event on an opposing file system.
