Abstract
Techniques are described for exchanging files between users via a server environment that maintains copies of file system data from user computing devices. For example, the server environment can maintain a copy of file system data from the file system of a first computing device associated with a first user. The server environment can receive a file request from a second user that requests a file (e.g., by describing the file) from the first user whose files are backed up at the server environment. The server environment can send a request to the first user to approve the file request. After receiving approval, the server environment can send the file to the second user (e.g., as an automatic download to a computing device associated with the second user).
