Abstract:
Example embodiments relate to a server for providing remote storage space to users. The server may include a mechanism that allocates a portion of storage space in the storage area in response to a request from a first remote user. The server may also include a mechanism that maintains storage records, the storage records identifying a user currently granted exclusive access to the portion of storage space. Furthermore, the server may include a mechanism that processes access requests to determine whether a remote user requesting access to the portion of storage space is the user currently granted exclusive access. Related clients, methods, and machine-readable storage media are also disclosed.
