Clorage is a Cloud Storage System that can be deployed as personal cloud storage (your web, client apps and your data on your hardware. This method combines the best of both worlds by storing files on a local networked drive and allowing you to retain full control over your data) or cloud storage service like Dropbox, Box, SugarSync or Google Drive.

Application sync (JSON‐based REST APIs): this feature pp y ( )
can be used in application deployment in a company. For
example, accounting departments of all branches of a bank
has more than 100 people The se some same soft arehas more than 100 people. They use some same software
to perform daily accounting tasks, assuming that the bank
purchase new accounting software and want to deploy to
all machines of these people. Actually, there are many way
to do this but might be cost time and money. Clorage offer
an easy way to this with minimal time and moneyan easy way to this with minimal time and money
