File Transfer and Synchronization over Multiple Clients/Server Environment

Abstract

With the expanding quantity of personal electronic devices, grows the importance of reliable data storage and distribution. These days, network and wireless solutions are preferred, e.g. cloud storage-based architectures. But does average user really need uploading to a reliable server for all the data? And how the server would deal with hundreds of gigabytes of files from millions of users? To address these issues, a new system called syx is introduced. It has the possibility of local file distribution within the same network, offloading most of the computational, storage and networking load to clients and flexibility in terms of file distribution, when it is decided for each client or device whether to get the specific file or folder onto it.
