Abstract
An object-sharing method used in a object sharing system is provided. The object-sharing method comprises the steps outlined below. An object-sharing request that intends to share an object in a first object storage to a second object storage is received. First and second object paths are compared. Whether a naming conflict condition occurs is determined. The second object storage receives the object and keeps the first object path when the naming conflict condition does not occur. The second object storage receives the object and merges the first and the second object paths when the naming conflict condition occurs and the first and the second object storages are from the same user. An alternative sharing destination is generated to receive the object when the naming conflict condition occurs and the first and the second object storages are not from the same user.
