Method for copying files in cloud storage device to local file system and data processing device applying the same

The present invention relates to a method for copying a file in a cloud storage apparatus to a local file system and a data processing device using the same, and in particular, for downloading a file in a cloud storage device without first downloading And the method for conveniently copying or moving the files in the cloud storage device to the local file system and the data processing device applying the method by using the input commands familiar to the user.

Today, a significant percentage of electronic content management, storage, and related services have been implemented remotely, or as "cloud-based" execution. That is, many services allow users to upload, store, and share files via a remote server. The current trend is to bring together files (eg, photos) and allow users to access these centrally stored files through multiple devices and/or locations using a single account. There are two particularly useful reasons for centralized storage. First, personal data processing devices, such as personal computers, notebook computers, smart phones, tablet computers, digital cameras, digital cameras, etc., have limited storage space. Second, the user may wish to access all files (eg, photos or images, etc.) anytime, anywhere on any device. However, it is impractical to store copies of all photos or images on all devices. Cloud storage services that have emerged on the market help eliminate or reduce these issues. The Cloud Storage Service is an online user profile storage provider hosted on the Internet. Cloud Storage Service allows The user stores a large number of files remotely and accesses them through multiple devices in the future.

Each individual cloud storage service (eg, DropBox, Google Drive, Box, Amazon S3, iCloud, etc.) provides an application programming interface (API) for users to upload or download files. Some APIs provided by the cloud storage service (for example, DropBox) allow users to copy and move remote storage files in the local file system of the personal data processing device, and even allow the user to input commands of the familiar operating system. Conveniently copy and move remote storage files within the local file system. However, this type of API is to download the remote storage file to the local file system in advance, taking up the storage space of the personal data processing device.

In addition, different cloud storage services provide different APIs, and it is difficult for users to copy and move remote storage files in the local file system from APIs provided by different cloud storage services.

Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for copying a file in a cloud storage device to a local file system and a data processing device using the method, and in particular, the method of the present invention does not need to download the cloud storage device first. Files and files in the cloud storage device can be conveniently copied or moved to the local file system using only the input commands familiar to the user.
