Abstract
More and more overlapping functions on all kinds of mobile devices with these on traditional computers have significantly expanded the usage of mobile devices in our daily life. This also causes the demand surge of pervasively and quickly accessing files across different personal devices owned by a user. Most existing solutions, such as DropBox and SkyDrive, rely on some centralized infrastructure (e.g., cloud storage) to synchronize files across different devices. Therefore, these solutions come with potential risks of user privacy and data secrecy. In addition, continuously maintaining strong consistency among multiple replicas of a file is very costly.
