Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for providing services to a client device via a shared cloud service. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes storing information on a first device relating to a subject, saving the stored information in a serialized format data file to the shared cloud service, the data file having a filename generated as a function of the subject, providing authenticated access to the data file for a second device via the shared cloud service, synchronizing a copy of the data file via the shared cloud service to the second device, the copied data file reflecting a single up-to-date state of the data file in the shared cloud service, and de-serializing the serialized format data file at the second device.
