US Patent 9906510 Virtual content repository

Disclosed are various examples for facilitating a virtual content repository on behalf of a user. In a virtual content repository, files are stored in content repositories external to the virtual content repository that are associated with a user account that can be different from an enterprise user account linked to the virtual content repository. Files and portions thereof can also be stored in multiple content repositories that are external to the virtual content repository. A file can also be encrypted, in which case the encryption key can be stored by the virtual content repository but, in some scenarios, not in the content repository where the file is stored.
