Shadowing of local or remote information to cloud-based computing systems is provided. As content and activities associated with content (e.g., content modification activities, content communication activities, people associated with content, social networking associated with content, etc.) are developed at a local on-premises computing system that is remote from the cloud-based computing system responsible for maintaining the same content and content activities, the local content and activities are shadowed to the cloud-based system at a regular frequency so that the content and activities at the cloud-based system are synchronized and merged with the content and activities at the local system.
