Abstract
A file synchronization service generates a listing of files stored on a local data volume by executing a plurality of threads corresponding to directories of the data volume. Files to synchronize with a remote data storage service are identified based on comparison of the listed files with cached data indicative of files stored by the remote data storage service. A plurality of file synchronization requests are sent to the remote data storage service, where the plurality of files are sent in an order that is determined at least partly based on a scaling characteristic of the remote data storage service.
