The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A cloud server includes a cloud storage for storing a folder uploaded to the cloud server, a database for storing administrative data and a cloud service application. The cloud service application establishes a communication connection with an end point device to retrieve a user identification about the user, the end point device name, and folder name and location and stores this information in the database. A remote device communicates with the cloud server to access a folder stored on at least one of the endpoint device and the cloud storage. The cloud service application determines an authorized user and provides access to the folder by providing direct access to the endpoint device from the remote device utilizing the communication connection during uploading of the folder to the cloud, or directly to the cloud storage if the folder has been uploaded.“
