SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZING DATA OBJECTS IN A CLOUD BASED SOCIAL NETWORKING ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method of synchronizing and sharing data objects in a cloud based social networking environment of the type including a collaboration cloud, the method comprising:
- defining a sharing configuration, within the collaboration cloud, the sharing configuration including a second computing device;
running a dedicated client synchronization application on a first computing device;
creating a sync folder on the first computing device using the client synchronization application;
updating a data object using the first computing device;
adding the updated data object to the sync folder;
automatically synchronizing the updated data object with the collaboration cloud; and
propagating, using the collaboration cloud, the updated data object to the second computing device.
