Abstract
A data processing system implements obtaining, at a file services platform, first mapping information by mapping files, folders, or a combination thereof stored on each of a plurality of client devices associated with a first user. The data processing system further implements synchronizing the first mapping information with the plurality of client devices, receiving a first request for a first file from a first client device of the plurality of client devices, where the first file stored locally on a second client device of the plurality of client devices. The data processing system further implements requesting that the second client device upload an instance of the first file to the file services platform; receiving the instance of the first file from the second client device; and causing the first client device to download the instance of the first file from the file services platform to the first client device.
