1. A method for providing information management of data objects from hosted services, comprising:
- providing a user interface, to an information management system, 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;
wherein the data objects are accessible to the user via the hosted accounts provided by the hosted services;
wherein the computing device includes or accesses the information management system,wherein the information management system manages data for the computing device and for other computing devices; and
,wherein the information management system creates copies of data objects from the computing devices and stores the copies to secondary storage devices in accordance with information management policies for the information management system;
receiving definitions for an information management policy to be applied to 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 making copies of that type of data object;
requesting copies of the data objects from the hosted services via the multiple hosted accounts in accordance with the information management policy for the multiple hosted accounts;
receiving the copies of the data objects from the hosted services in response to the request; and
performing information management operations on the copies of the data objects, with the information management system, in accordance with the information management policy.

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.

13. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium carrying instruction for providing information management of data from hosted services, comprising:
-
receiving, at a user interface, identification or access information for each of one or more hosted accounts provided by one or more hosted services; wherein the one or more hosted services provide access, over a public network, to data objects associated with a user; receiving, from a computing device, information management policies for the one or more hosted accounts of one or more hosted services; wherein the information management policy identifies at least one type of data object and a data storage policy for making copies of that type of data object; wherein the computing device includes or accesses an information management system; wherein the information management system manages data for the computing device and for other computing devices; wherein the information management system creates copies of data objects from the computing devices and stores the copies to secondary storage devices in accordance with information management policies for the information management system; requesting data associated with the one or more hosted accounts from the one or more hosted services in accordance with the received information management policies; receiving data associated with the hosted account from the hosted service; indexing the received data to associate the received data with a user of an information management system, wherein the information management system is unaffiliated with and not controlled by an entity that controls or manages the hosted service, and wherein the hosted service is accessible via the computing device and via a mobile device owned by the user; providing index information related to the received data to the computing device associated with the user in accordance with the information management policies; and performing information management operations on the copies of the data objects, with the information management system, in accordance with the information management policy. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for managing hosted data, comprising:
-
at least one processor; a user interface that receives identification or access information for each of one or more hosted accounts provided by one or more hosted services; a module that associates one or more hosted accounts with a user of an information management system; wherein the one or more hosted services provide access, over a public network, to data objects associated with a user; wherein the data objects are accessible to the user via the one or more hosted accounts provided by the one or more hosted services; a module that associates the one or more hosted accounts with information management policies for the information management system; wherein the information management policy identifies at least one type of data object and a data storage policy for making copies of that type of data object; wherein the information management system manages data for a computing device and for other computing devices; and
,wherein the information management system creates copies of data objects from the computing devices and stores the copies to secondary storage devices in accordance with information management policies for the information management system; a module that requests copies of data objects from the hosted services via the multiple hosted accounts in accordance with the information management policy for the multiple hosted accounts; a module that receives the copies of the data objects from the hosted services in response to the request; and a module that performs information management operations upon the data objects received from the hosted account, within the information management system, in accordance with the policies. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
