A cloud server determines that a size of a first cloud storage element object is at least below a first threshold. In response to the first determination, a client-side component is requested to store additional data in the cloud storage element object including by having the client-side component update the first cloud storage element with an updated version that includes previously existing data of the first cloud storage element and the additional data. The first cloud storage element object is added to a set of one or more cloud storage element objects available for update. The client-side component is configured to generate an updated version of the first cloud storage element object that has a size that is greater than or equal to the first threshold.
