In this paper, we take a close look to understand the cloud-based file synchronization and collaboration systems. Using the popular Dropbox as a case study, our measurement reveals its cascaded computation and communication operations that are far more complicated than those in conventional file hosting. We show that this serial design is necessary for the cloud deployment, which effectively avoids...

This new generation of service, beyond conventional client/server or peer-to-peer file hosting with storage only, has attracted a vast number of Internet users.
