US 2015/0106412 A1 · Local Storage Linked to Networked Storage System

Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for storage of files. A removable memory device is configured to couple to a computing device, and a storage management application is stored in the removable memory device, the storage management application being executable by a processor circuit. The storage management application is configured to send a plurality of files for storage in a networked storage system, the networked storage system being remote to the computing device. The storage management system caches a subset of the files on the removable memory device and maintains a local file directory in the removable memory device. The local file directory lists the files stored in the networked storage system in association with an account linked to the removable memory device.

Claims1

Dependent claims

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program stored thereon that, when executed by a computing device, directs the computing device to:

initiate storage of a file on a removable memory device coupled to the computing device in response to receiving a request from an application executed on the computing device to store the file on the removable memory device coupled to the computing device;
initiate storage of the file in a networked storage system in response to determining that a network is available, the file stored in the networked storage system in association with an account linked to the removable memory device;
and
maintain a local file directory of a plurality of files stored by the networked storage system in association with the account and the removable memory device in the removable memory device.
