US Patent 9501490 Automatic synchronization of most recently used document lists

A most recently used (MRU) client synchronization engine is provided to synchronize a user's most recently used (MRU) document list associated with a client machine with a file hosting server's MRU document list. The file hosting server's MRU document list contains a list of the user's most recently used documents that are stored on the file hosting server. The user's documents that are stored on the file hosting server are accessible to the user on one or more web-enabled client machines. The MRU client synchronization engine analyzes registry data pertaining to the documents that a user uses on the client machine with the file hosting server's MRU document list to determine the user's most recently used documents.
