Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for synchronizing and sharing a file. A set of access privileges is configured within a cloud collaboration site to define a sharing configuration to allow sharing of the file between a group of computing devices comprising a first computing device and one or more second computing devices. A sync client automatically creates a sync folder on the first computing device that is used for storing files added to the sync folder. When a file is updated at the first computing device and added to the sync folder, the updated file is automatically synchronized at the cloud collaboration site so that the updates are accessible by the one or more second computing devices. The updated file is automatically pushed from the cloud collaboration site to the one or more second computing devices to share the updated file in accordance with the sharing configuration.
