Abstract: A synchronization protocol for multi-premises hosting of digital content items. In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a first commit request including a first set of one or more identifiers of one or more first content item blocks. The one or more first content item blocks make up a content item stored at a computing device. Further, the method includes, based at least in part on the first commit request, determining a second set of one or more identifiers that includes one or more identifiers of the first set of one or more identifiers not yet stored at a content item block server. The method also includes sending, to the computing device, the second set of one or more identifiers, and receiving a second commit request including the first set of one or more identifiers of the one or more first content item blocks, and an identifier of the content item block server.

Abstract: Techniques for optimizing window move actions for a remoted application are provided, where the remoted application has an application window running within a remote desktop of a server system, and where the application window is made accessible to a user of a client system in the form of a client-side application window displayed in a client desktop of the client system. In one embodiment, the client system can receive from the server system a notification that the application window has begun moving in the remote desktop, and can determine that the user is currently entering one or more input commands for moving the client-side application window in the client desktop. The client system can further send a command to the server system for stopping the movement of the application window in the remote desktop, such that the application window is fixed in a stationary position.

Abstract: Techniques for apparent cloud access of a hosted content item. In one embodiment, for example, a method performed at a personal computing device executing a user agent comprises: receiving a block agent request for a content item from the user agent; determining content item block identifiers of content item blocks that make up the content item; determining which, if any, of the content item blocks that make up the content item are not stored in a local storage of the personal computing device; downloading, from a block server of an online content management system, any of the content item blocks that are not stored in a local storage of the personal computing device; and sending to the user agent, in a response to the block agent request, data of each of the content item blocks that make up the content item.

Abstract: A content item block replication protocol for multi-premises hosting of digital content items. In one embodiment, for example, a method comprises: receiving, from a server, a server journal entry identifying one or more content item blocks of a content item represented by the server journal entry; storing a replication log entry corresponding to the server journal entry in a replication log, the replication log entry identifying the one or more content item blocks of the content item represented by the server journal entry and identifying a block server; and either offering to send the one or more content item blocks identified in the replication log entry to the block server identified in the replication log entry, or downloading the one or more content item blocks identified in the replication log entry from the block server identified in the replication log entry.
