Abstract
A plurality of devices in a system discover one another and a first electronic device selects a second electronic device from amongst a plurality of devices to coordinate file storage. In some embodiments, the first electronic device and the second electronic device perform an authentication handshake. After performing the authentication handshake, the first electronic device transmits first data to the second electronic device. In some embodiments, the second electronic device operates using a temporary file system that includes the first data. In accordance with a determination that one or more criteria are satisfied, the second electronic device ceases operating using the temporary file system and deletes at least a portion of the temporary file system and/or first data.
