  • Publication number: 20180034795
    Abstract: An account aggregation service receives account credentials for a first network service account and associates the credentials with a list of network service accounts. Access tokens for other network service accounts can also be obtained and stored with the list of accounts. The account aggregation service can utilize the access tokens to access the other network services on behalf of a user. The account aggregation service can also enable the configuration of a second or subsequent computing device by receiving the credentials for the first network service account. The account aggregation service can then utilize the account credentials to retrieve the associated list of accounts. The list of accounts can then be provided to the second or subsequent computing device. The second or subsequent computing device can access the other network service accounts via the account aggregation service.

  • Publication number: 20170308516
    Abstract: Email is a widely adopted communication tool, but is awkward for dealing with large numbers of attachments, especially when the sender wishes to draw the receiver's attention to certain portions of those attachments or to present the attachments in a set order. Therefore, the present disclosure provides systems and methods for creating and managing a single attachment object within an email application to enforce a curated experience for the receiver in the receiver's email application. By providing a single attachment object that comprises and curates multiple component files, an improved user experience is realized for both sender and receiver, and less data need to be transmitted and fewer computing resources expended to provide the curated experience.
