Auto-storing and synchronizing device content from an information handling system
First Claim
1. A method for managing content of an information handling system comprising:
- identifying, by a docking station, a first device within a pre-determined range of the docking station, the first device operable to communicate with the docking station;
pairing, based on the identification, with the first device;
detecting, by the docking station, a file on the first device;
uploading, by the docking station, the detected file to a cloud services system;
creating, by the docking station, a pointer, the pointer pointing to the uploaded file'"'"'s location on the cloud services system;
storing, by the docking station, the pointer in a directory structure based on a file type of the uploaded file associated with the pointer,monitoring, by the docking station, for a second device within the pre-determined range of the docking station, the second device operable to communicate with the docking station;
allocating, by the docking station, the pointer to the first device and the second device;
pairing, based on the identification, with the second device;
receiving, by the docking station, a selection of the pointer from the second device; and
transmitting, by the docking station in response to receiving the selection, the file to the second device such that the second device saves the file to the second device.

Abstract
A system and method for auto-storing and synchronizing device content from an information handling system is disclosed. The method includes identifying a first device within a pre-determined range of a docking station, the first device operable to communicate with the docking station. The method further includes pairing with the first device. The method includes detecting a file on the first device. The method further includes uploading the file to a cloud services system. The method further includes creating a pointer, the pointer pointing to the file'"'"'s location on the cloud services system. The method further includes storing the pointer to the file.

1. A method for managing content of an information handling system comprising:
-
identifying, by a docking station, a first device within a pre-determined range of the docking station, the first device operable to communicate with the docking station; pairing, based on the identification, with the first device; detecting, by the docking station, a file on the first device; uploading, by the docking station, the detected file to a cloud services system; creating, by the docking station, a pointer, the pointer pointing to the uploaded file'"'"'s location on the cloud services system; storing, by the docking station, the pointer in a directory structure based on a file type of the uploaded file associated with the pointer, monitoring, by the docking station, for a second device within the pre-determined range of the docking station, the second device operable to communicate with the docking station; allocating, by the docking station, the pointer to the first device and the second device; pairing, based on the identification, with the second device; receiving, by the docking station, a selection of the pointer from the second device; and transmitting, by the docking station in response to receiving the selection, the file to the second device such that the second device saves the file to the second device. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. An information handling system comprising:
-
a processor; a memory communicatively coupled to the processor; a docking station; and instructions stored in the memory, the instructions when loaded and executed by the processor, cause the processor to; identify a first device within a pre-determined range of the docking station, the first device operable to communicate with the docking station; pair, based on the identification, with the first device; detect a file on the first device; upload the detected file to a cloud services system; create a pointer, the pointer pointing to the uploaded file'"'"'s location on the cloud services system; store the pointer in a directory structure based on a file type of the uploaded file associated with the pointer, monitor, by the docking station, for a second device within the pre-determined range of the docking station, the second device operable to communicate with the docking station; allocate the pointer to the first device and the second device; pair, based on the identification, with the second device; receive, by the docking station, a selection of the pointer from the second device; and transmit, by the docking station in response to receiving the selection, the file to the second device such that the second device saves the file to the second device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, the instructions executable by one or more processors, the instructions, when read and executed for causing the processor to:
-
identify a first device within a pre-determined range of a docking station, the first device operable to communicate with the docking station; pair with the first device; detect a file on the first device; upload the detected file to a cloud services system; create a pointer, the pointer pointing to the uploaded file'"'"'s location on the cloud services system; store the pointer in a directory structure based on a file type of the uploaded file associated with the pointer, monitor, by the docking station, for a second device within the pre-determined range of the docking station, the second device operable to communicate with the docking station; allocate the pointer to the first device and the second device; pair, based on the identification, with the second device; receive, by the docking station, a selection of the pointer from the second device; and transmit, by the docking station in response to receiving the selection, the file to the second device such that the second device saves the file to the second device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
