Abstract
Systems and method of the present invention provide for one or more server computers configured to register a domain name; receive a request to: generate a file folder linked to an online storage account owned by a user; and map a URL, comprising a sub domain concatenated to the registered domain name, to the file folder. The server(s) may be further configured to determine whether an alias for the URL, comprising the subdomain, is located in a DNS record for the domain name. The server(s) may automatically generate the file folder and map the URL to the file folder. Any HTTP requests comprising the URL received by the server(s) may be resolved to the file folder.
