Abstract

A server system, based on content of a first file stored on a first client device being modified, automatically receives a copy of the modified first file from a first transfer client, implemented on the first client device, the copy of the modified first file being an updated version of the first file generated from content of the first file being modified. The server system receives, from the first transfer client, first metadata associated with the updated version of the first file, the first metadata being assigned a first priority greater than a second priority assigned to the copy of the modified first file. The server system automatically transfers the first metadata to a second transfer client, implemented on a second client device, before the copy of the modified first file is transferred to the second transfer client to be stored on the second client device.
