In one general aspect, a computer-readable storage medium can be configured to store instructions that when executed cause one or more processors to perform a process. The process can include establishing at least a portion of a communication link between a computing device and a storage system operating within a cloud environment. The process can include accessing a user interface including a listing of files representing a plurality of files where at least a first portion of the plurality of files are stored in a local memory of the computing device and a second portion of the plurality of files are stored in the storage system.

File handling within a cloud-based file system

A dispensing apparatus is which, even when a small amount of a medium is to be dispensed, can satisfactorily dispense the medium. The medium dispensing apparatus (,) has: a laboratory dish transporting mechanism (,) which transports a laboratory dish (,) along a predetermined path; a movable table (,) which is disposed in the laboratory dish transportation path by the laboratory dish transporting mechanism (,), with being upward inclined by a given angle &thgr; toward a downstream side in a transportation direction of the laboratory dish (,), and which moves in circular motion in a horizontal plane along predetermined forward and backward directions, thereby moving the laboratory dish (,) placed on the table in circular motion along a horizontal direction, and in the forward and backward directions, in a state where the laboratory dish is upward inclined toward the downstream side in the transportation direction; and a medium dispensing mechanism (,) for dispensing a given amount of a medium to a portion in the laboratory dish (,) placed on the movable table (,), in a manner that at least part of the dispensed medium makes contact with the inner face of the side wall of the laboratory dish (,), the portion being on the downstream side in the transportation direction with respect to the center of the laboratory dish.
