Abstract

A first client device associated with a first account of a content management system can receive a first or latest version of a synchronized content item. The first client device can determine differences or the “diff” between the first version and a second or next-to-latest version of the content item and upload the first version and the diff to the content management system. Upon receiving the first version and the diff, the content management system can store the first version and the diff and download them to the second client device. The second client device can generate a notification when the download finishes and present the notification with an interface element for requesting presentation of the diff. When the second client device detects a selection of the interface element, the second client device can present the diff.
