Abstract

Technology is disclosed herein for data synchronization based on file system activities. According to at least one embodiment, a computing device monitors one or more file system operations for a file stored in the computing device. The computing device records the file system operations for the file sequentially into a log data structure. The computing device synchronizes the file with a server by sending the log data structure to the server. The server can apply the file system operations recorded in the log data to an instance of the file stored in the server such that data of the file stored in the computing device are consistent with data in the instance of the file stored in the server after the file system operations are applied.
