US Patent 9088538 Secure network storage

This invention includes a synchronized storage server enabled to send the end-point device a notification including the root folder list. The end-point device compares the sent root folder list to a previously stored root folder list in the end-point devices' memory. If the end-point device detects either a new root folder on the synchronized storage server, a change in an existing folder, or deleted content in a folder the end-point device will determine that a change is required to the stored data. Next the end-point device will synchronize with the synchronized storage server and create a new storage list. Finally, the synchronized storage server will send the end-point device a new encrypted folder encryption key which includes the encrypted file contents along with identifying information such as the server name and revision information.
