Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods, and machine-readable storage mediums for managing storage of a computing device associated with a user. In at least some embodiments, a method includes receiving a request to synchronize a data file from a cloud storage system from a the computing device, determining a classification of the computing device and an access pattern associated with the file, determining a storage optimization operation to be performed on the data file based on the access pattern and the classification, transmitting the file to the device subsequent to execution of the storage optimization operation, and transmitting an updated file based on an updated access pattern. The storage optimization operation can include downsampling, lossy compression, lossless compression, or a combination thereof.
