Abstract: Techniques pertaining to managing digital assets and data stored in various third-party web services on the Internet are disclosed. A web platform based on web standards is constructed. A web driver containing specifications of a plurality of digital asset management feature plug-ins is provided. A third-party web service on the Internet implements the web driver by adding programming codes according to the specifications and returns the implemented web driver. The web platform registers the third-party web service by storing the web driver in a database. Any registered web services can be added to the web platform as virtual storage devices, or Smart Drives, by a user. Digital assets and data stored in various registered third-party web services can be directly managed or ported from one to the others through accessing corresponding Smart Drives without having to go through multiple logins.
