CloudMe is a cloud computing service used for business and home users. CloudMe facilitates the user to store their personal files like music, video, documents and images. The primary focus of this thesis is on music. The personal music files can be uploaded to CloudMe manually or by using CloudMe sync in any order just like in personal computer. CloudMe offers different services to access the cloud from other devices like smart phones, web browser and the home computer.   Sonos wireless HiFi system is a set of Sonos component interconnected with the mesh network with the primary function to play digital audio. The components include subwoofer, speakers and Bridges in order to connect to wireless speakers. Sonos system is connected to internet through Ethernet or via Wi-Fi. Sonos gives access to music libraries stored in computer, free Internet radio stations and additional music services. The controller for the complete system has various choices as iPhone, Android and other specific Sonos controllers.   However, with Sonos, a computer is considered necessary to be running all the time in order to access the personal music files from the personal computer. Combining CloudMe to Sonos allow the requirement of an always-on computer to be removed. Instead the selected personal music files can be stored with the user‟s private CloudMe account, and the music can be accessed from the cloud storage through the Internet at anytime.   The main objective of this thesis is to build the given APIs from the Sonos that are required in order to access CloudMe from Sonos. Each API handles specific task to present CloudMe through Sonos to the user. For example an API handles user authentication and another API handles the metadata accessing. All the APIs are implemented in the given server from CloudMe. This integration not only provides access roughly the way the music files are stored in the cloud, but also implemented in a way to accesses via categories like artist, albums, genre, composers and also the playlist stored in the cloud. In order to get this menu view of all the music, the metadata of the entire music library from CloudMe is accessed and programmed to differentiate music options in the menu.

This report describes a bachelor thesis performed at Xcerion for their subsidiary CloudMe. CloudMe has a service for cloud computing which makes your files accessible from anywhere, anytime. Cloud computing is addressed to both business and ordinary home users. With the ability to store important documents or family photos in the cloud other important subjects can be focused on. A cloud can in short be described as a metaphor for the internet and with the growing server houses and accessibility of cloud computing the need for USB-sticks (Universal Serial Bus) and hard drives are slowly fading away. CloudMe today offers several different services to access the cloud from a number of devices which includes smartphones, a web-browser and the home computer. This thesis work is about upgrading and improving their desktop application, Easy Upload. Easy Upload makes it possible to back-up several folders to the cloud but with the only option of uploading files and folders. Only uploading files to the cloud makes the application very restricted and lacking of an important feature, downloading from the cloud. Designing this new feature resulted in four different synchronization options; Upload, Download, Bidirectional and Hotsync, each configurable for every connected folder. With these options a user is offered the possibility to choose which synchronization best to use for the task in hand. The ability to choose, and configure, any folder on your computer opens up the restrictions which several large cloud computing services has today with one specific folder for the entire cloud. To ease the access and the understanding of these new synchronization options, a complete redesign of the user interface was developed. The name Easy Upload could no longer be associated with this application and therefore Easy Upload was renamed to suit the new functionality of the application and bring it closer to the association with the company CloudMe. When this thesis work was completed Easy Upload was considered to be the predecessor of CloudMe Sync.
