PRE-SYNCHRONIZATION ANALYSIS BETWEEN LOCAL DOCUMENTS AND AN ONLINE DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

Embodiments describe pre-synchronization analysis between a computing device and an online document management system. In one embodiment, the computing device identifies a mapping between a local folder and a remote folder at the system, identifies a local file in the local folder, and determines if a remote copy of the local file exists in the remote folder. When the remote copy does not exist, the computing device adds a pending upload entry in an analysis log. When the remote copy does exist, the computing device either adds a pending upload entry in the analysis log or skips an entry in the analysis log for the local file depending on whether the remote copy was modified after a previous synchronization, the local file was modified after the remote copy, and the local file and the remote copy have different file sizes. The computing device displays the analysis log to a user.
