First Claim
1. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium carrying instructions for providing information management of data objects from hosted services, comprising:
- providing a user interface to enable a user to identify or access each of multiple hosted accounts provided by multiple, different hosted services,wherein the hosted services provide access, over a public network, to data objects associated with the user, andwherein the data objects are accessible to the user via the hosted accounts provided by the hosted services;
managing data for a computing device and for other computing devices,wherein the managing includes;
creating copies of data objects from the computing devices andstoring the copies to secondary storage devices in accordance with information management policies;
receiving definitions for an information management policy for the multiple hosted accounts via the user interface,wherein the information management policy identifies at least one type of data object and a data storage policy for managing copies of that type of data object;
causing copies of data objects to be requested from one of the hosted services via one of the multiple hosted accounts in accordance with the information management policy for the multiple hosted accounts; and
receiving the copies of the data objects from the hosted service in response to the request.

Abstract
A method and system for providing information management of data from hosted services receives information management policies for a hosted account of a hosted service, requests data associated with the hosted account from the hosted service, receives data associated with the hosted account from the hosted service, and provides a preview version of the received data to a computing device. In some examples, the system indexes the received data to associate the received data with a user of an information management system, and/or provides index information related to the received data to the computing device.
