Cloud storage provides for accessible interfaces, near-instant elasticity and scalability, multi-tenancy, and metered resources within a framework of distributed resources acting to provide highly fault tolerant solutions with high data durability. However, cloud storage also has drawbacks and limitations with information uploading and how information is subsequently accessed. To date the lack of automated tools for managing tens, hundreds and thousands of users and/or documents within enterprises and organizations means that for most migrating is a massive undertaking. Accordingly, knowledge workers require a human interface to the data ingested from third-party systems that manages the data in original folder contexts/locations for each knowledge worker within the interfaces. It would be further beneficial for knowledge workers to have tools for incremental ingestion of changes from data sources to a cloud storage repository as well as determining/centralizing cloud storage repository ingestion from the data sources.
