Abstract
A local area network (LAN) may contain several local computing devices that are in communication with a remote network storage provider that is not part of the LAN. Resources may be available from the remote network storage provider. When a user requests a resource using a first local computing device in the LAN, the first local computing device may check the other local computing devices on that are in the LAN for the resource before requesting the resource from the remote network storage provider. If the resource is available within the LAN, the resource is not requested from the remote network storage provider.
