1. A method comprising:

  • identifying one or more storage devices that store one or more content objects, wherein the storage devices comprise at least a first partition associated with a first set of content objects and a second partition associated with a second set of content objects, wherein the first partition is assigned to a first set of users in a first location and the second partition is assigned to a second set of users in a second location, the second location being different from the first location;

    generating a first set of outgoing collaboration attributes pertaining to a shared content object from the first partition;

    storing, on the first partition, the first set of outgoing collaboration attributes that corresponds to a collaboration invitation issued by at least one of the first set of users to share the shared content object from the first partition in the first location with at least one of a second set of users in the second location;

    generating a set of incoming collaboration attributes stored in the second partition that corresponds to the collaboration invitation received by the at least one of the second set of users in the second location, wherein the set of incoming collaboration attributes that is stored in the second partition is derived from the first set of outgoing collaboration attributes in the first partition; and

    provisioning access to the shared content object from the first partition in the first location, wherein the shared content object in the first partition is shared to at least one of the second set of users in the second location according to both the set of incoming collaboration attributes local to the second partition and a set of partition mapping attributes, wherein the set of partition mapping attributes relate users to partitions.
