Abstract: Disclosed examples include causing transmission of an indication to a server. The indication indicates that a file on a host storage location is designated as a favorite file. The indication causes a copy of the file to be stored in a favorites storage device. Disclosed examples also include generating a modified copy of the file by modifying the file at the host storage location, and causing synchronization of the modified copy of the file from the host storage location to replace the copy of the file at the favorites storage device.

Abstract: Disclosed examples include receiving an indication that a file is designated as a favorite file from a user device; retrieving the file from a remote location; storing the file as a first favorite file on a favorites storage device; re-retrieving the file from the remote location; and updating the first favorite file with the re-retrieved file.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques might be provide for implementing message-driven data updates. In some embodiments, a server might generate linear (e.g., short message service (“SMS”)) message(s) containing data updates, and might send the linear message(s) to a user device over a linear messaging communications network. The user device might receive the linear message containing data updates, and might divert, based on the format of the linear message, the linear message, from a queue of regular (i.e., message only) linear messages that are displayed to a user, to a translator device or application programming interface (“API”). The translator or API might parse the data updates in the linear message (in some cases, combining data updates in multiple linear messages, decrypting data updates, and/or the like) to generate data updates in data format, which are then relayed to one or more identified applications running on the user device for updating these applications.
