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.
