This disclosure provides techniques for dynamic content caching and retrieval. For example, a computing device includes cache memory dedicated to temporarily caching data of one or more applications of the computing device. The computing device also includes storage memory to store data in response to requests by the applications. The storage memory may also temporarily cache data. Further, the computing device includes system software to represent to the applications of the computing device that the portions of the storage memory utilized to cache content are available to store data of the applications. In addition, the computing device includes application programming interfaces to provide content to a requesting application from a cache of the computing device and/or from a remote content source.

A cloud-based storage service hosts content information that may be accessed by client machines in a peer-to-peer network. The content information is a compact representation of the content which is stored outside of the cloud-based storage service. The cloud-based storage service generates the content information and a content information hash. The content information hash is used to validate the content information when the content information is downloaded to the peer-to-peer network. The cloud-based storage service also generates metadata that describes the content information so that a client machine in the peer-to-peer network may access the content information from the cloud-based storage service.
