Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and articles for synchronizing contents of associated computing devices are described herein. In various embodiments, the method includes receiving, by a first computing device, from a shared server, a notification that content on a second computing device has been created or updated. The first computing device may also request at least a first portion of the created/updated content from the second computing device to contribute to synchronizing the first and second computing devices with respect to the content. Further, the first computing device may receive at least a second portion of the created/updated content from the second computing device to effectuate said contribution to synchronizing the first and second computing devices with respect to the content.
