Systems and methods for migrating data. One system includes a server including at least one electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive local storage information from a migration client executed by each of a plurality of source devices. The electronic processor is also configured to aggregate the local storage information received for each of the plurality of source devices to determine a migration load, and determine a reservation model based on the migration load. In addition, the electronic processor is configured to issue a first reservation to a first source device included in the plurality of source devices based on the reservation model, the first reservation triggering migration of data stored on the first source device to the at least one remote storage location, and, in response to completion of the first reservation, issue a second reservation based on the reservation model.

Data migration reservation system and method

A system is provided for facilitating access to data stored in a cloud-based storage service. Data associated with a user account is stored at the cloud-based storage service. A portion of the data is associated with a heightened authentication protocol. A request for an application to receive data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol is received at the cloud-based storage service. In response to the request, the request is authenticated based on the heightened authentication protocol. In response to authenticating the request, permission is granted for the application to receive the data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol. In response to a locking of the data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol, an indication that the data is unavailable is sent to the application.

Synchronization in a file storage system using authentication-state-based permissions

A system is provided for controlling access to data stored in a cloud-based storage service. A first request is received to access data stored at the cloud-based storage service, the data associated with a user account. The first request is authenticated based on a username and password associated with the user account. A second request is received for a file that is stored in an area associated with a heightened authentication protocol. The heightened authentication protocol is performed to authenticate the second request. In response to authenticating the second request, permission is granted to a temporary strong authentication state. The permission is to access the file that is stored in the area associated with the heightened authentication protocol. In response to a failure to authenticate the second request, access to the file that is stored in the area associated with the heightened authentication protocol is denied, while access to files stored in other areas associated with the user account is allowed.

Authentication state-based permission model for a file storage system

Systems and methods for synchronizing data between an online data source and a client application. The method includes, in response to a change in a permission associated with a user to a protected data set included in a shared data space of the online data source, receiving, with the client application associated with the user, a protected data synchronization token issued by the online data source associated with the protected data set and downloading, with the client application, the protected data set included in the shared data space from the online data source to the client application using the protected data synchronization token without re-downloading a public data set included in the shared data space. After downloading the protected data set, the method includes synchronizing the shared data space, including the protected data set and the public data set, using a stored data space synchronization token.
