Abstract
Device information for each of multiple devices associated with a user account is maintained by a cloud service. The device information can include credential information allowing the device to be accessed by other ones of the multiple devices, remote access information indicating how the device can be accessed by other ones of the multiple devices on other networks, and property information including settings and/or device drivers for the device. The device information for each of the multiple devices is made available to other ones of the multiple devices, and can be used by the multiple devices to access one another and provide a consistent user experience across the multiple devices.
