Abstract: A system and method for automatic storage and serving of digital content is disclosed. One aspect of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which a storage server in a local area network of a user: automatically receives content from a first client device associated with the user, wherein: the received content is determined in accordance with a storage server profile for the storage server, and receiving the content frees up storage space on the first client device; stores at least some of the received content; receives a request for at least some of the stored received content to be served to a second client device associated with the user; and in response to the request for at least some of the stored received content, serves the requested content to the second client device.

Abstract: A system and method for automatic digital library creation is disclosed. One aspect of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which a storage server in a LAN of a user: automatically receives content from a client device in the LAN, wherein: the received content is determined in accordance with a storage server profile for the storage server, and receiving content frees up storage space on the client device; stores at least some of the content received from the client device; automatically receives content via an external network that is complementary to the stored content received from the client device, wherein the complementary content is determined in accordance with the storage server profile; and stores the complementary content.
