Abstract
Generating and sharing metadata for indexing synchronized content items. A server generates metadata for indexing synchronized content items and manages sharing of the metadata with client devices in accordance with user preferences that may be embodied in metadata generation and sharing management rules. For example, a content item stored at the server has been designated to be synchronized across at least a first client. The server generates metadata for indexing the content item and sends the metadata to at least a second client.
