Abstract
A systems and methods of managing user data using clustering patterns based on metadata analysis. The described technique includes receiving file metadata from multiple user devices, where the file metadata is associated with data stored on the plurality of user devices associated with a plurality of users. The technique generates a user metadata fingerprint based on a plurality of user metadata record attributes contained in the file metadata, and determines clustering of the plurality of users based on the generated user metadata fingerprint. The data for the plurality of users may be stored based on the determined clustering.
