Abstract

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates seamless integration of a data storage service within an operating system (OS). An online safe deposit box can store a portion of data, wherein the online safe deposit box is hosted by a data storage service provider. A local operating system associated with a device can leverage a graphic user interface (GUI) to interact with a portion of data associated with the device. A map component can create a mapped drive that integrates the online safe deposit box within the local operating system to enable seamless data interaction between the local operating system and the online safe deposit box, wherein the data interaction is at least one of a data upload from the local operating system to the online safe deposit box or a data download from the online safe deposit box to the local operating system.
