A method comprising:

• sending a group activity data file from a server memory system to a client, wherein the group activity data file is associated with a portion of a group activity, and wherein the server memory system does not require any dedicated group activity processes at the server memory system to support the group activity;
• and
• sending a group file from the server memory system to the client, wherein the group file is associated with at least the portion of the group activity, and wherein the group file is used to control access to the group activity data file.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• sending a group activity data file from a server memory system to a client, wherein the group activity data file is associated with a portion of a group activity, and wherein the server memory system does not require any dedicated group activity processes at the server memory system to support the group activity;
• and
• sending a group file from the server memory system to the client, wherein the group file is associated with at least the portion of the group activity, and wherein the group file is used to control access to the group activity data file.
