Abstract
Techniques for an electronic file fetch system are described. A method may comprise sending a request for a roaming file list to a file fetch server from a first client device and receiving the roaming file list from the file fetch server by the first client device. The roaming file list includes a unique identifier associated with an application file stored on a second client device. The unique identifier includes a machine identifier identifying the second client device and a local file path portion identifying the file path of the application file stored on the second client device. Based on the machine state of the second client device as indicated in the roaming file list, the application file stored on the second client device may be downloaded to the first client device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
