Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for distributed storage systems. For example, a device can receive a read request for a first file, where the read request is generated by a host device. The read request is configured to access a file on the host device. The device can access mappings to identify a first mapping. The device can identify a first file on a mobile device based on the first mapping. The device can access the first file, where the accessing uses the first mapping. The device can access the first file by communicating with the mobile device to read the first file. The device can then return the first file.
