Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for managing partial-edit files for shared storage applications. A network-attached storage device (NAS) includes a non-volatile memory module, a network interface, and control circuitry configured to connect to a first client over a network connection using the network interface, receive, from the first client, a request to access a first portion of an existing file stored in the non-volatile memory module, create a first partial-edit file based on the existing file, receive modifications associated with the first portion of the existing file from the first client, modify the first partial-edit file according to the received modifications, and at least partially overwrite the existing file with at least a portion of the first partial-edit file.
