Abstract

Systems, methods and media are provided for deferred synchronization of files in cloud storage systems. One method includes detecting changes to a data file. The method also includes monitoring I/O operations performed by a process associated with the changes. When the process is busy, the method also includes adding to an upload file list a name of a first file in response to a creation/modification of the first file. The method further includes adding to the list a new name of a second file and, when applicable, removing from the list an old name of the second file in response to renaming the second file. The method also includes removing from the list a name of a third file in response to a deletion of the third file and uploading files identifiable using file names in the list to the cloud storage server when the process is no longer busy.
