Abrégé

A method for synchronizing a local file system (LFS) and a remote (cloud) file system (RFS) includes the step of storing events indicative of differences between the LFS and the RFS, where the events are associated with file system objects of the LFS and RFS. The method further includes the steps of prioritizing the events, generating file system operations for the events based at least in part on the prioritization of the events, and performing at least some of the file system operations to synchronize the LFS and RFS. Prioritizing the events includes defining a plurality of service classes (e.g., based on type of event, event attribute, etc.), assigning a priority to each of the service classes, and assigning each event to one of said service classes. Systems are also described. The invention allocates limited synchronization resources based on a predefined policy to synchronize important file system objects sooner.
