Methods and systems for detecting and addressing file redundancies. A server may be configured to store a plurality of files associated with a plurality of identifiers. The identifiers may be generated using a hash function. The server may receive an indication of a first file. The indication of the first file may correspond to a user uploading the first file to the server, and may comprise a first identifier of the first file. The server may determine, by comparing the first identifier and the plurality of identifiers, that a second file is the same as the first file. Based on the second identifier, a pointer to the second file may be provided to prevent redundant storage of content similar to that of the second file. If an edit associated with a pointer, of a plurality of pointers to a centrally-stored file, is made, a new centrally-stored file may be created.
