    Abstract: The present technology pertains to synchronizing contents of a directory external to a synchronized directory by a content management system. The content management system is configured to synchronize only objects in the synchronized directory. Accordingly, the present technology creates an anchor object that represents the directory external to the synchronized directory within the synchronized directory. The anchor object includes special attributes that indicate to the synchronization client that the anchor object represents an external directory, and allows the contents of that directory to be synchronized directly to a server on the content management system without first storing the contents of the external directory on the hard drive of the client device.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to compute a difference between a local tree data structure representing a file system state for content items associated with a user account on the computing system and a sync tree data structure representing a known synchronization state between a content management system and the computing system. The system is configured to generate, based on the difference, a set of operations that when performed update the content items stored on the content management system to converge a server state for content items associated the user account on the content management system and the file system state.
