1. One or more computer-readable memory devices or storage devices having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform acts, the acts comprising:

  • performing a local change to data on a first endpoint, the local change comprising creating the data by the first endpoint or modifying the data by the first endpoint;

    modifying metadata maintained by the first endpoint to reflect the local change to the data performed by the first endpoint;

    communicating the modified metadata from the first endpoint to a server endpoint via a feed using a synchronization protocol, wherein the server endpoint is configured to communicate the modified metadata to a second endpoint via another feed using the synchronization protocol;

    receiving, by the first endpoint, a request from the second endpoint for the data; and

    sending the data from the first endpoint to the second endpoint responsive to the request.
