Local networked storage linked to remote networked storage system

Abstract:

Disclosed are various embodiments for a local networked storage that is linked to a remote networked storage system. In one embodiment, among others, a computing device obtains a request to read a file stored in a remote networked storage system in association with a user account, in which the request is obtained from a client computing device through a local network. The computing device also determines that the file is stored in a local cache and receives the latest file signature associated with the file from the remote networked storage system. The computing device can determine that the latest file signature corresponds to a file signature of the file stored in the local cache and can determine that the file stored in the local cache corresponds to the latest version of the file. The file can be sent through the local network.
