Abstract:
Systems and methods, in a lightweight connector including a processor communicatively coupled to a network interface, include connecting to a cloud-based system, via the network interface; connecting to one or more of a file share and an application, via the network interface; and providing access to a user device to the one or more of the file share and the application via a stitched connection between the network interface and the user device through the cloud-based system. The systems and methods can further include receiving a query for discovery; and responding to the query based on the one or more of the file share and the application connected thereto.
