Synchronized asset trays

A system comprising:

• a computer system comprising a first microprocessor, a first display, a network interface connecting the computer system to a network and a first memory, the first memory for storing first computer executable instructions and second computer executable instructions relating to a plurality of software applications, wherein
• the second executable instructions configure the first computer to provide the plurality of software applications;
• the first computer executable instructions configure the computer system to:
• provide a core tray program to each software application of the plurality of software applications, each core tray program for managing a local tray system upon the computer system comprising a plurality of trays and manage a plurality of local assets stored within the plurality of trays by the local tray system where each subset of the plurality of local assets associated with a tray of the plurality of trays have a common theme;
• provide a synchronization manager for synchronizing the plurality of local assets stored upon the computer system within the local tray system with a plurality of remote assets stored within a remote tray system upon a remote server and vice-versa, and
• provide a tray management program providing a first graphical user interface to a user of the computer system upon the first display allowing the user to manage the plurality of trays and the plurality of local assets stored within the plurality of trays;
• wherein
• each core tray program provides:
• a second graphical user interface within an application window associated with each software application of the plurality of software applications allowing the user to work with the plurality of local assets and the plurality of trays;
• and
• provide synchronization of the plurality of local assets and the plurality of trays with a remote tray system hosted upon a remote computer system connected to the network such that the other core tray programs currently in execution within the other software applications of the plurality of software applications are updated to reflect changes to their plurality of local assets and the plurality of trays made by the user within the plurality of local assets and the plurality of trays with an instance of the core tray program being executed within a software application of the plurality of software applications.
