Abstract
A data management server manages access tokens for accessing remote storage service servers. The data management server sends the access tokens to user terminals to enable the user terminals to communicate directly with the remote storage server to upload data to the remote storage service server or download data from the remote storage service server without routing of data traffic through the centralized data management server. The data management server initially communicates with a remote storage service server to open an account for a user and obtains an access token for accessing the account in the remote storage service server.
