Systems and methods for collaborating, protecting, publishing or sharing user data accessed to memory devices on multiple memory devices and for social organizations to remember and share user data

摘要

In various embodiments, the present invention relates to a method of operating a server for managing user data in a plurality of storage devices. The method includes establishing, in a database system, via the server, information for each registered user; establishing and storing in the database system a set of relations, based on user designations, between registered storage devices and container designations; and using a central service running on the server to deliver storage device-container relationship data to the storage devices, thereby enabling the apparatus to corroborate the containers therein, and replicating user data with other storage devices that have corroborated corresponding containers, in a manner consistent with the stored relationships, and the central service operating without interaction with the user data stored in the containers.
