Abstract
Systems and methods for the storage and distribution of content for user device groups are presented. In one example, a device group including a plurality of user devices is defined based on logical relationships among the plurality of user devices. A group data structure corresponding to the device group is stored in a data storage device, the group data structure including a parent data structure. An item of content is received from a first user device of the device group and stored in the data storage device as a child data structure of the parent data structure. The item of content is transmitted to other user devices of the device group based on the item of content being stored in the group data structure.
