Abstract
A method performed in a host device includes receiving an input based on a user-visible code associated with a data storage device. The user-visible code corresponds to an identifier of the data storage device. The method includes sending first data associated with the identifier to a server via a network and receiving, from the server at a first time, a copy of second data identifying content stored in the data storage device. The second data is stored in a network-based storage device associated with the server. The method includes displaying, via a user interface of the host device, an indication of the content of the data storage device to enable the content of the data storage device to be identified at the host device independently of whether the data storage device is coupled to the host device.
