    Abstract: A popular service offered by many cloud computing systems is cloud-based storage. To enhance this service, the cloud-based storage can be extended through the use of a local storage device. A local storage device, such as a network enabled external hard drive, can be made available via a user's Internet connection. The local storage device can then be used to transparently store the user's content. That is, the user can still back up their devices to the cloud, but in some cases instead of the content residing in the cloud-based storage, it can reside on the local storage device without additional action required by the user. When the user requests the content, the content can be retrieved from the local storage device and returned to the requesting client device without the client device knowing where the content was stored.

    Abstract: Eine Cloud-Computing-System kann verwendet werden, um den Speicherplatz einer Anwendung auf einem Clientgerät transparent zu reduzieren. Eine Anwendung kann mit einem minimalen Satz von Anwendungsressourcendateien installiert werden. Die übrigen Anwendungsressourcendateien können mit Anwendungsressourcendatei Platzhalter, die das Erscheinungsbild der Anwendung Ressourcendateien haben können, aber in der Tat leere Dateien ersetzt werden. Wenn eine Anwendung eine Anwendung Ressourcendatei anfordert, kann eine Anwendung Ressourcendatei Abrufprozess auf dem Clientgerät installiert den Unterschied zwischen einer Anwendung Ressourcendatei und einem Anwendungsressourcendatei Platzhalter erkennen. Die Anwendung Ressourcendatei Abrufprozess kann einen Fehler im Reaktion auf das Erkennen einer Anwendung Ressourcendatei Platzhalter, die bewirkt, dass das Client-Gerät, um die angeforderte Anwendung Ressourcendatei von einem Remote-Speicherort zu erhalten, wie Cloud-basierten Speicher auslösen. Darüber hinaus können installierte Anwendung Ressourcendateien mit Anwendungsressourcendatei Platzhalter ersetzt werden.

    Abstract: Machine implemented methods comprising, and machine readable mediums and data processing systems implementing, the steps of, for example: displaying an open file window by selecting an open file command from within an application which creates files, wherein the open file window is displayed in response to receiving the selection of the open file command from a menu and wherein the open file window is configured to display files created by the application; displaying a search input field to allow entry of a search query to find a file; receiving a search query and performing a system wide search in a plurality of locations using the search query; displaying a result of the search within the open file window; receiving a selection of a first file in the result of the search; receiving a command to open the first file in the application; displaying, in response to the command to open the first file, content of the first file, within an application window of the application.

    Abstract: Machine implemented methods comprising, and machine readable storage mediums and data processing systems implementing, the steps of, for example: capturing metadata from a plurality of files created by a plurality of different software applications, wherein a type of information in metadata for files of a first software application differs from the type of information in metadata for files of a second software application; indexing contents of files in one or more volumes of the data processing system and storing results of the indexing to provide indexed content; dynamically updating the indexed content and the captured metadata as changes are made to existing files in the data processing system or as new files are created or existing files are deleted; receiving an input for a search; performing the search for search results as the input is being received, the searching being through the plurality of files created by the plurality of different software applications and through the captured metadata, wherein the searching is begun concurrently as the input is entered and before entry of the input is completed or in response to a single command; displaying, by a data processing system, a list of results from the search, the list presenting N items, wherein N is less than M items found from the search and wherein the list is not scrollable and wherein the displaying includes displaying a command to show all M items and wherein the list is grouped by categories and the number of items within each category is limited to less than N and wherein the list is sorted by one of relevance and recency and wherein the input includes a selection of a command in a menu bar displayed at an edge of a screen and wherein the list of results is displayed adjacent to the menu bar.
