The present disclosure relates to a digital asset synchronization system that provides improved digital asset management and synchronization of a digital asset stored either within a component database or a packaged file. For example, the digital asset synchronization system enables a set of components that makes up a digital asset to appear as a singular packaged file, while also maintaining the benefits of having the digital asset made up of the components. In this manner, the digital asset synchronization system provides a bridge between a digital asset stored in a packaged file format and conventional file formats. In addition, the digital asset synchronization system also provides digital asset management and improved synchronization between a client device and a cloud storage system.

Managing digital assets stored as components and packaged files

The present disclosure relates to a digital asset synchronization system that provides improved local and remote synchronization of digital assets. In particular, the digital asset synchronization system manages digital assets by separating each digital asset into multiple components stored as a set of distributed individual files. Employing individual components for a digital asset rather than single monolithic file enables the digital asset synchronization system to provide safe concurrent access to the digital asset from multiple applications on the same device and across different devices. In addition, using components for a digital asset provides the digital asset synchronization system with the ability to efficiently store and synchronize multiple versions of the digital asset, both locally and remotely.
