Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for synchronizing files from email account systems. In one embodiment, the method comprises accessing a file stored in a memory of a local device, including determining a local file path specifying the location of the file in the memory. The file is uploaded to an email server, where it is stored in association with a user's email account. The local file path, email account information, and an identifier of the file are sent for storage by a management server. The uploaded file is accessed by the email account information and the file identifier.
