    摘要: Some examples include performing a priority synchronization of a computing device to download a selected set of data files to the computing device from a distributed backup system. Data files are downloaded to a computing device by synchronizing with a server of the distributed backup system. A priority sync downloads a subset of the data files as priority files, rather than all of the data files of the user, thereby minimizing the computing resources consumed to download the data files. The priority sync can select the priority files based on various criteria, including an access pattern of the data files, attributes of the data files, or attributes of the computing device. The priority sync may also download non-priority files. The priority files may be downloaded in their original format and the non-priority files may be downloaded in a downgraded format.

    摘要: The disclosure is directed to presenting a unified view of tasks and applications across multiple computing devices of a user. A unified view of the tasks can be presented using a task manager. The task manager presents a list of tasks that are executing at each of the devices. The user can perform multiple actions on the tasks, e.g., launch on a first device a task executing on a second device from the first device, or terminate from the first device a task that is executing on the second device. A unified view of the applications can be presented using an app tray. The app tray displays a list of apps installed on each of the devices of the user. In displaying the list on a particular device, the app tray displays the apps that are not installed on the particular device in a distinct format, e.g., as shadow icons.
