    Abstract: A server in a cloud-based environment is interfaced with storage devices that store shared content accessible by two or more user devices that interact with the cloud-based service platform over a network. A virtual file system module is delivered to a user device, which user device hosts one or more applications. The virtual file system module detects a plurality of application calls issued by processes or threads operating on the user device. The plurality of application calls are mapped into one coalesced cloud call. The coalesced cloud call is delivered to the cloud-based service platform to facilitate access to the shared content by the application. The mapping of application calls to the coalesced cloud call is based on pattern rules that are applied over a stream of incoming application calls. A delay may be observed after mapping to a first pattern, and before making a mapping to a second pattern.

    Abstract: A server in a cloud-based environment interfaces with storage devices that store shared content accessible by two or more users. Individual items within the shared content are associated with respective object metadata that is also stored in the cloud-based environment. Download requests initiate downloads of instances of a virtual file system module to two or more user devices associated with two or more users. The downloaded virtual file system modules capture local metadata that pertains to local object operations directed by the users over the shared content. Changed object metadata attributes are delivered to the server and to other user devices that are accessing the shared content. Peer-to-peer connections can be established between the two or more user devices. Object can be divided into smaller portions such that processing the individual smaller portions of a larger object reduces the likelihood of a conflict between user operations over the shared content.

    Abstract translation: 基于云环境的服务器与存储由两个或多个用户可访问的共享内容的存储设备进行接口。 共享内容中的各个项目与相应的对象元数据相关联,该元数据也存储在基于云的环境中。 下载请求启动向两个或多个用户关联的两个或多个用户设备下载虚拟文件系统模块的实例。 下载的虚拟文件系统模块捕获与用户通过共享内容指导的本地对象操作相关的本地元数据。 更改的对象元数据属性将传递到服务器和正在访问共享内容的其他用户设备。 可以在两个或更多个用户设备之间建立对等连接。 对象可以被分成更小的部分,使得处理较大对象的各个较小部分减少了在共享内容之间的用户操作之间的冲突的可能性。
