FUNCTIONALITIES, FEATURES, AND USER INTERFACE OF A SYNCHRONIZATION CLIENT TO A CLOUD-BASED ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A synchronization client which communicates with a cloud-based computing platform for synchronizing folders and files between a collaboration location on the cloud-based computing platform and a local location on the synchronization client, comprising:
- an issue handling unit which describes one or more issues halting a previous or current synchronization process;
a conflict handling unit which describes one or more conflicts of folders and files between the collaboration location and the local location resolved during a previous or the current synchronization process; and
an update handling unit which describes one or more updates of folders and files triggering a previous or the current synchronization process.

Abstract
Embodiments in the present disclosure include systems and methods related to a synchronization client of a cloud-based collaboration platform that runs on a user device for synchronizing folders and files between a location on the cloud-based collaboration platform and a location on the user device. The synchronization client informs a user of the status of synchronization processes and allows a user to choose various options depending on the informed status.

8. A synchronization client which communicates with a cloud-based computing platform for synchronizing folders and files between a collaboration location on the cloud-based computing platform and a local location on the synchronization client, comprising:
-
a state management unit which indicates a state of the synchronization client out of a plurality of states in an area managed by an operating system running on the user device, wherein the state management unit allows a user to choose one or more common options regardless of the state and one or more options that are state-specific, and wherein the plurality of states includes a complete state, an in-progress state, a paused state, and a stopped state. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A synchronization client which communicates with a cloud-based computing platform for synchronizing folders and files between a collaboration location on the cloud-based computing platform and a local location on the synchronization client, comprising:
-
an issue handling means for describing one or more issues halting a previous or current synchronization process; a conflict handling means for one or more conflicts of folders and files between the collaboration location and the local location resolved during a previous or the current synchronization process; and an update handling means for describing one or more updates of folders and files triggering a previous or the current synchronization process.
