Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for obtaining content for a workspace of a collaboration environment. According to one embodiment, a method for requesting and obtaining a content item for a workspace of a collaboration environment can comprise generating, by a cloud-based collaboration environment system, a content request identifying the content item and metadata for the content item. The requested metadata for the content item can be defined by a requestor of the content item and the content item and the metadata for the content item can be requested from a submitter. The generated content request can be provided by the cloud-based collaboration environment system to a computing device associated with the submitter. In response to the provided request, the content item and the requested metadata for the content item can be obtained by the cloud-based collaboration environment system from the computing device associated with the submitter.

Abstract: A server in a cloud-based environment interfaces with storage devices that store shared content accessible by two or more users. Individual items within the shared content are associated with respective object metadata that is also stored in the cloud-based environment. Download requests initiate downloads of instances of a virtual file system module to two or more user devices associated with two or more users. The downloaded virtual file system modules capture local metadata that pertains to local object operations directed by the users over the shared content. Changed object metadata attributes are delivered to the server and to other user devices that are accessing the shared content. Peer-to-peer connections can be established between the two or more user devices. Object can be divided into smaller portions such that processing the individual smaller portions of a larger object reduces the likelihood of a conflict between user operations over the shared content.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for shared content management systems that provide performance analytics pertaining to a project. Embodiments include establishing one or more network communication links between a content management system that manages a plurality of shared content objects and a plurality of applications that cause modifications to the shared content objects in accordance with workflows of the project. Iteraction events that correspond to modifications over the shared content objects are recorded such that interaction events associated with the plurality of applications are selected based at least in part on attributes associated with the interaction events. Relationships between the recorded interaction events such as time durations between certain of the interaction events are calculated. Project performance measurements are generated based on the calculations and/or based on other relationships between the interaction events.

Abstract: Scalable architectures, systems, and services are provided herein for generating jobs by applying user-specified rules to events in an action log framework (ALF) stream is disclosed. More specifically, collaboration environments can include features or mechanisms that allow end-users or collaborators to perform a variety of actions such as, for example, file uploads and previews, or collaboration operations such as, for example, task assignment and comments. These actions can be captured or logged by an action log framework and, as described herein, automatically translated into one or more jobs by applying customizable user-specified rules.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved systems, methods, and computer program products that use a cluster-based probability model to perform anomaly detection, where the clusters are based upon entities and interactions that exist in content management platforms.

Abstract: A user interface is configured to present a stream of activities that arise from operation of two or more heterogeneous applications that access shared content objects of a content management system. A first application of a first type among the heterogeneous applications interoperates with a second application of a second type. Application activity records that correspond to interactions by the second application over the shared content objects are stored. Additional interactions that are raised by the first application and that pertain to a common content object are also stored. When a user requests access to a content object of the content management system, recent application activity records are selected. Some of the selected activity records are filtered out based on permissions attributes corresponding to the content object and/or based on permissions attributes corresponding to the requesting user. An application activity stream is generated based on the selected application activity records.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved systems, methods, and computer program products that performs user behavior analysis to identify malicious behavior in a computing system. The approach may be implemented by generating feature vectors for two time periods, performing scoring, and then performing anomaly detection.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for content management systems. Multiple components are operatively interconnected to carry out operations for establishing a user device trust level. A content management system facilitates interactions between a plurality of user devices and a plurality of shared content objects. The plurality of user devices are network connected to the content management system. One of the user devices issues a request to access a particular one of the content objects. Responsive to the request, a two-step device check is performed before granting access to the particular one of the content objects. A first step of the two-step device check process is based on environmental information, and a second step of the two-step device check process is based at least in part on analysis of the content of the particular one of the content objects. The actual bits of the content object itself are inspected.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for content management systems. In a computing environment having multiple interconnected computer systems, one or more network communication links between a first computer system that hosts a first application and a second computer system that hosts one or more second applications are established. The first computer system hosts a plurality of shared content objects that can be operated over by any second applications that are interfaced with the first application. Particular interaction events over a shared content object take place at the second applications and/or at the interfaces between the first and second applications. Such particular interaction events are recorded as they occur, after which, based on event attributes associated with the particular interaction events, at least one workflow of the first application is selected. The selected workflow of the first application is executed to perform operations over the shared content object.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for high-performance, low latency start-up of large shared media files. A method for low latency startup with low defect playback commences upon identifying a first media file having a first format to be converted to a second media file having a second format. A scheduler divides the first media file into multiple partitions separated by partition boundaries. The method continues by converting the partitions into respective converted partitions that comport with the second format. Determinations as to the position of the partition boundaries is made based on measurable conditions present at a particular moment in time. Different formats receive different treatment based on the combination of characteristics of the first format, characteristics of the second format, as well as on characteristics of measurable conditions present at the moment in time just before conversion of a segment.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for providing random access to segmented and encrypted or compressed data stored in a repository. Retrieving at least a portion of a file stored in a repository can comprise storing a plurality of files in the repository. A request to retrieve at least a portion of one of the plurality of files can be received and object metadata for the requested one of the plurality of files can be obtained. A determination can be made based on the obtained metadata as to whether the requested one of the plurality of files is a multipart file. In response to determining the requested one of the plurality of files is not a multipart file, a single file retrieval process performing and in response to determining the requested one or the plurality of files is a multipart file, a multipart retrieval process can be performed.

Abstract: Various corpora of content objects and other information sources beyond the corpora of content objects are processed to identify personally identifiable information (PII). PII that is associated with a named person is codified into a first portion of a graph-oriented data structure. Also, PII that is associated with an alias that might refer to a named person is codified into a second portion of the graph-oriented data structure. A determination is made that the alias that might refer to a named person is indeed an alias that is a coreference to the named person. Based on that determination then, since the first portion of the graph and the second portion of the graph refer to the same person, then the PII of the second portion of the graph can be deemed to be PII of the same person. PII in common and/or language processing can be used to establish coreferences.

Abstract: Management of web conference assets in a content management system. At the conclusion of a web conferencing session, an event is raised at the content management system. Various web conference assets (e.g., recordings) and web conference parameters are analyzed in conjunction with content management system metadata. Based on the analysis, one or more actions to perform on the web conference assets are determined. The content management system metadata may include user profile information of at least one web conference participant. Rules and/or a classification model that considers then-current conditions at the content management system are used singly, or in combination, to determine action characteristics and/or labels such as a retention period or security classifications to apply to the web conference assets. The web conference assets are stored in a hierarchical directory at the content management system. The hierarchy of the directory is derived from aspects of the web conferencing facility.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for content management systems. The techniques of the methods, systems and/or computer program products automatically determine activity-based content object access permissions and/or make a recommendation of activity-based content object access permissions. A machine learning model is formed from observations of user interactions over a plurality of content objects. The model is continually updated based on ongoing observation and analysis of user interaction events. When a collaborative relationship is formed between an invitor and one or more invitees, the activity-based permissions model is accessed to determine a set of access permissions to assign to the collaborative relationship. A single collaborative relationship may cover many collaboration objects. In some cases, a set of access permissions are automatically assigned to the collaborative relationship. In other cases, a set of access permissions is presented to the invitor as a recommendation.

Abstract: Handling user-demanded privacy controls over data of an electronic document collaboration system. A storage facility is configured to store content objects and associated metadata that pertains to the content objects. A user raises a privacy action request that comprises a demand to change how certain content objects that contain personally identifiable information (PII) of the user are handled. A plurality of content objects are classified using a PII classifier that is trained using synthetically-generated training set entries where, rather than reading actual contents from electronic documents of the collaboration system to generate training set entries, instead, the training set entries are generated using words that are randomly selected from a repository of natural language words. When PII corresponding to the user who raised the privacy action request is discovered in content objects, then the content management system modifies those content objects and/or its metadata in accordance with the demand.

Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting relevant collaboration activity to a collaboration system user. A method embodiment commences upon identifying user events that correspond to interactions between a plurality of users and collaboration objects. The interactions that had been performed and the collaboration objects are both associated with permissions attributes. The interactions are recorded as event records that include aspects of the permissions attributes. When a user opens a user interface, a set of event records is selected based at least in part on the permissions attributes with respect to the user. The selected set of event records are then used to generate a set of user-specific feed entries corresponding to particular individual ones of the set of event records. Characteristics of the individual event records and/or aggregations of event records are used to prepare user-specific feed entries that are presented in a user interface of a user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for forming collaboration recommendations. Techniques for forming event-based recommendations use time-decayed event values. A shared content management system supports a plurality of users that generate events by interacting with content objects of the shared content management system. Events over the content objects are captured as event objects. Method steps are invoked upon receiving event objects that describes user-to-object interaction events that arise from interactions by users over content objects. Different types of interactions carry different importance values. The importance values can be applied as weights when scoring user-to-object interaction activities. The importance can decay over time. As time progresses and as the importance of older interactions decay, score components of a user-to-object interaction can be updated based at least in part on a time decay function. The system emits collaboration recommendations based on the decayed user-to-user collaboration scores.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems and methods for performing automated browser testing on different native file types by receiving files of different types. A preview version of each file can be generated and rendered in an output file type. Generating the preview version can be performed by a preview application executed by the testing system and rendering the preview version of the first file can be performed by a browser application executed by the testing system. The output file type can be different from the received file type. For example, the received file type can be a native file type of a first application different from the browser and the output file type comprises an HyperText Markup Language (HTML) file type. A test can be executed on the rendered preview version based on one or more assertions on the first file.
