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: Securely acquiring and managing electronic-based signatures by a content management system. A content management system exposes content objects to a plurality of collaborators. Executable modules of the content management system implement an Internet-based interface that is configured to acquire electronic-based signatures from a user device. A particular user device is configured to access particular content objects over the Internet-based interface and to acquire an electronic-based signature corresponding to one or more of the particular content objects. When one or more conditions are detected that would at least potentially influence how the acquisition of the electronic-based signature is carried out, then one or more remediation actions are invoked. Various security-specific remediation actions address corresponding security vulnerabilities. Various document-specific remediation actions are determined based on the document conditions that had been detected.

Abstract: Techniques for monitoring local and/or remote file systems by a synchronization component (e.g., client/server) of a cloud-based platform are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of building synchronization events by a synchronization component (e.g., a synchronization server/client) includes obtaining a set of items that have been changed and their new states and retrieving last known states of the set of items that are stored in a reference snapshot inside a filesystem scanner. The method further includes generating differences between the new states and the last known states of the set of items as item changes and utilizing information provided by the item changes to translate the item changes into synchronization events for execution on the opposing file system. A method of handling failed synchronization events by a synchronization component of the cloud-based platform by collapsing a subsequent event with the failed synchronization event is also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for folder synchronization and offline synchronization via a mobile platform in a web-based collaboration environment are disclosed. One embodiment includes synchronizing user selected folders and/or sub-folders via the mobile platform, using portable devices including smart phones and tablets using any mobile operating system to allow offline access. Child or sub-folders of the selected folders and/or sub-folders are automatically detected and synchronized for offline access. Any change or new content detected on the client side or on the server side is also synchronized such that the selected folders and/or sub-folders on the client and server sides are up to date.

Abstract: Systems and methods for maintaining and updating file system shadows by a synchronization client of a cloud-based platform. In some embodiments, an executor of the synchronization client can execute an action on an item in the local file system which changes the state of the item from an old state to a new state. The synchronization client updates the file system shadows with the new state of the item via an interface to facilitate generation of a synchronization event for the change to the item, that would otherwise go undetected if the change to the item was immediately reversed. In some embodiments, methods for providing shadow consistency and enhancing concurrent access to shadows are implemented by the synchronization client in maintaining and updating the file system shadows.

Abstract: An improved fishing lure is disclosed that includes an integrated hook harness to which one or more hooks may be movably secured. The hooks are maintained in a neutral state by a retention mechanism provided in the harness that may be released when a fish strikes the lures, allowing the hook to move freely relative to the hook harness and lure body. Because the hook is able to move relative to the hook harness and lure body, the weight of the hook harness and lure body do not act directly on the hook and the likelihood of the fish kicking free is substantially decreased.

Abstract: Scalable architectures, systems, and services are provided herein for generating jobs by applying user-specified metadata rules to metadata events. More specifically, the scalable architecture described herein uses metadata to drive automations and/or polices in a cloud-based environment. In one embodiment, the architecture integrates a metadata service with an event-based automation engine to automatically trigger polices and/or automations based on metadata and/or changes in metadata changes. The metadata service can include customizable and/or pre-build metadata templates which can be used to automatically apply a metadata framework (e.g., particular fields) to files based on, for example, the upload or placement of a particular file in a particular folder. The architecture also provides for advanced metadata searching and data classification.

Abstract: A smart safety kit includes one or more medical products, a container configured to receive the medical products therein, an interface coupled to the container, a processor, and a memory. The container and the medicals product are separate and distinct. The memory is coupled to the container and includes instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the interface to communicate step-by-step medical instructions for administering treatment to a patient with the medical products.

Abstract: A cloud-based content object management system responds to download requests from user devices to provide access to synchronization code. Using the synchronization code, a user device requests, receives, and stores a user-device-local copy of a subject content object. The cloud-based content object management system determines that at least one security-related parameter pertaining to the subject content object has undergone a change and reaches a determination that the user-device-local copy of the subject content object is to be either deleted or quarantined. Upon such determination, the cloud-based content object management system forms eviction instructions and sends them to the user device, which in turn causes deletion or quarantining of the remote content object copy at the user device, while still retaining directory structure metadata that refers to the now evicted subject content object.

Abstract: Executable code comprising a local file system is stored at a collaboration system server for downloading. The remote collaboration system responds to a message from a user device to download the local file system. The local file system to be downloaded is configured to operate on the user device so as to issue requests from the user device to perform an initial access to server-side collaboration data. The collaboration system responds to such requests by predicting interests of the user, which predictions are used to retrieve additional server-side collaboration data. The additional server-side collaboration data is sent to the user device and stored on the user device in an area for locally-stored collaboration system information. The user provides search terms for searching the locally-stored collaboration system information, and results are displayed on the user device. The results are displayed without the need to perform additional communications with remote collaboration system.

Abstract: Systems for managing static assets of web applications. A method embodiment includes identifying a web application that comprises a code base and a set of static assets, then separating the code base of the web application from the set of static assets that are referenced by the web application. The code base is deployed as application services whereas the static assets are deployed as static asset containers. Specifically, the set of static assets referenced by the application services are deployed in containers that are instantiated separately from where the application services are instantiated. Requests to access the application services and requests to access the static assets are tracked by taking performance measurements of the systems that process the accesses. Dynamic scaling of static asset containers is done independently from dynamic scaling of the application services. The dynamic scaling is based on combinations of measured usage and/or any system performance characteristics.

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: 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: Systems for centralized processing of regulatory control events. A method embodiment applies regulatory compliance rules against regulatory control events that occur at a plurality of heterogeneous remote cloud-based systems. A centralized cloud-based platform manages the compliance of the plurality of heterogeneous remote cloud-based systems by applying a set of data compliance rules pertaining to regulatory controls. The regulatory controls pertain to data access events and data manipulation events that occur on the plurality of computing systems. The centralized cloud-based platform receives control event messages, the control event messages being raised any one or more of the heterogeneous remote cloud-based systems. Rules are processed against the received control event messages to determine a set of compliance actions.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for shared content management systems. In a content management system that supports multiple applications that operate on shared documents, multiple modules are operatively interconnected to make and present activity-based application recommendations. Techniques for making activity-based application recommendations include recording a series of interaction events from multiple users, which events correspond to a series of interactions performed by a plurality of applications over a shared content object. Constituent interaction events from the series of interactions are analyzed to determine a set of recommended applications. The set of recommended applications is presented to a user in a dynamically-populated user interface.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for content management systems. An unlabeled dataset comprising documents that at least potentially comprise personally identifiable information (PII) is used when training a PII content classifier. Such a classifier is trained by (1) determining, based on applying a PII rule to a first portion of a document selected from the unlabeled dataset, a confidence value that the first portion of the document does contain personally identifiable information, (2) selecting a second portion of the document selected from the unlabeled dataset such that the second portion does not include the first portion; and (3) assigning, based on the confidence value, a likelihood value that corresponds to whether characteristics of the second portion are indicative that the document does contain personally identifiable information. Such a PII content classifier is used over selected portions of subject content objects to determine whether the selected portions contain PII.

Abstract: A web conferencing system is hosted in a first computing environment and is Internet-connected with a content management system hosted in a second computing environment. Upon detection of an occurrence of a file or folder drag-and-drop event at the web conferencing system, the file or folder corresponding to the drag-and-drop event is made available to the content management system. A directory hierarchy of a file system of the content management system is generated on-the-fly. The content management system initiates operations to retrieve and store a copy of the file or folder into the director hierarchy. Access permissions corresponding to locations within the directory hierarchy where the copy of the file or folder is stored are established such that users of the web conferencing system who were not users of the content management system can access the copy of the file or folder that is stored in the content management system.

Abstract: A collaboration system provides network access to a plurality of content objects. The collaboration system facilitates collaboration interactions between particular users by allowing or denying network access to the plurality of content objects based on user invitations. A computing module observes and records user-to-user or user-to-content collaboration invitations over the plurality of content objects. On an ongoing basis, a collaboration network graph is constructed and maintained, with updates to the collaboration network graph being continually applied based on observed collaboration interactions. On demand, such as upon receipt of a user request for access to a content object, the updated collaboration network graph is consulted so as to generate a then-current sharing boundary.
