Abstract:
1. A method for uploading application requested data objects to a destination server, said method comprising: receiving, upon a computational platform in which files stored on the computational platform are masked from a user of the computational platform, a request from an application running on the computational platform for an upload of a data object, via a distributed data network, to a first data repository exterior to the computational device; instancing, upon the computational platform, an uploader window including a user input field; receiving through the user input field of the uploader window user input terms to be used as a search query; performing, via the distributed data network, a search, based on the search query, for data objects stored on one or more remote data repositories, which remote data repositories are exterior to the computational device and distinct from the first data repository; displaying, upon a graphic user interface (GUI) associated with the uploader window, indications of a content of one or more data objects identified within the one or more remote data repositories and related to the search query; receiving, through the GUI, a user selection of one or more of the data objects; and automatically uploading, to the first data repository, data from the one or more data repositories and associated with the user selected data objects.
