Abstract: Disclosed is an approach to implement a new layer of security within mobile devices using an encryption SDK, which implements a standalone component for applications to encrypt, decrypt, and view sensitive data on the device. A security layer is implemented on the device, wherein the security layer manages encryption for data retrieved onto the device from a cloud-based environment. Encrypted content is then generated at the security layer before storing the encrypted content by receiving the content object from the cloud-based environment and encrypting the content object with an encryption key that is password protected. The encrypted content is stored within an encrypted filesystem for presenting the content on the device.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for scheduling retrieval of shared content. Certain embodiments commence upon storing shared content at a collaboration system that is connected to a plurality of user devices by a network. After gathering one or more environmental conditions that correspond to at least one of the plurality of user devices, a time or a plurality of times is predicted, the predicted time or times corresponding to when conditions such as a user's device location or network strength conditions or other environmental conditions that affect the user devices might change. Based on the predicted times, a retrieval schedule is defined. The retrieval schedule includes instructions for initiating downloading of portions of the shared content from the collaboration system to the user device. Initiation of the start of downloading may be calculated to cause just-in-time downloading that completes just before the time of a predicted change in conditions.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for recommending remediation actions to selected users of collaboration systems. Certain disclosed techniques commence upon observing user-to-object interactions and user-to-user interactions raised by users of a collaboration system. A first specialized data structure is populated with activity values that characterize user-to-object interactions raised by individual users. A second specialized data structure is populated with sharing values that characterize observed sharing events over shared content objects. The values of the first data structure are correlated to the values of the second data structure to calculate a total contribution amount for each of the users of the collaboration system. A small set of communication recipients is identified by ranking the individual users based on a calculated total contribution amount. To avoid wasteful messaging to all users of the collaboration system, messages are sent only to the small set of recipients.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods to facilitate top down delete or un-synchronization on delete of a synchronization client to a cloud-based platform. The disclosed technology innovates the mechanism the synchronization client processes local deletes so that instead of synchronizing the delete of each individual item across to the cloud-based platform, it can accumulate the individual item deletes into a top-level folder delete and that top-level folder delete can be what is communicated across to the cloud-based platform. Embodiments of the present disclosure also include systems and methods for depicting item synchronization between a local and cloud based platform/service (e.g. the Box service). In some embodiments the system can identify items that cannot be synchronized between the local and cloud based platform/service (e.g., cloud based collaboration or storage platform/service).

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for composition and declaration of tiled images in a style sheet. Embodiments commence upon identifying a cascaded style sheet (CSS) repository, wherein the CSS repository comprises referenced images that correspond to a subset of a set of images that are referenced in rules and fetching the referenced images that are within the CSS repository. The referenced images that were fetched are assembled into a spirited image. The spirited image is then augmented by placing high-resolution images into a sprited layout, wherein the high-resolution images correspond to the referenced images from the rules. One or more modified CSS sheets that references the sprited image rather than the referenced images are generated.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for managing shared content directory structure metadata stored on client devices. A method embodiment includes identifying a collaboration system that stores one or more content objects that are organized in accordance with a directory structure. Requests pertaining to the content objects are raised by processing entities running on the client device. The requests include instructions to retrieve one or more of multiple types of metadata associated with the directory elements that constitute the directory structure. Based on timing and patterns of requests pertaining to the content objects, a monitoring function detects unwanted runaway retrieval by a runaway process. To prevent further unwanted runaway retrieval of the metadata, the runaway process is blocked from continuing its pattern of unwanted (runaway) retrieval. The collaboration system is notified of characteristics of the runaway process.

Abstract: Systems for managing content in a cloud-based service platform. A server in a cloud-based environment is interfaced with storage devices that hold one or more stored objects accessible by two or more users. The stored objects comprise folders and files as well as other objects such as workflow objects that are associated with the folders or the files. The workflow objects comprise workflow metadata that describes a workflow as a set of workflow tasks to be carried out in a progression. Processing of a workflow task and/or carrying out a portion of the progression includes modification of shared content objects. The processing or modification events are detected through workflow events, which in turn cause one or more workflow responses to be generated. Workflow responses comprise updates to the workflow metadata to record progression through the workflow and/or workflow responses comprise updates to any one or more of the stored objects.

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: Methods, systems and computer program products for content management and collaboration systems. Embodiments address handling remotely-stored preformatted previews of remotely stored content objects for display on a user device without having to store a local copy of the remotely stored content objects to the user device. A user operates a content object viewer that is provided as part of the operating system running on the user device. As provided, the content object viewer includes a graphical user interface for accessing files of the operating system. Using the graphical user interface capabilities of the content object viewer, the user selects a particular one of the remotely stored content objects. Upon such selection, the content object viewer displays a preview of the particular one of the remotely stored content objects without having to have a local copy of the particular one of the remotely stored content objects at the user device.

Abstract: Content management in a collaboration system. Ease-of-use of shared content is facilitated. A URL is presented in a user interface. The system determines (e.g., based on user preferences) whether to display the content corresponding to the URL in a browser at the user device, or whether to display the content corresponding to the URL using a non-browser application. If the user device is configured to display the content corresponding to the URL using a non-browser application, then when the user clicks or touches or hovers, or otherwise indicates a selection of a URL, the system displays the content using the non-browser application. In this situation, the system retrieves the content from the collaboration system, stores a local instance of the content in local storage of the user device, and opens the local instance using the non-browser application. Local instance edits are synchronized with the collaboration system using a synchronization protocol.

Abstract: Systems for managing multiple shared content objects using access tokens that cover the multiple shared content objects are disclosed. A method commences upon assigning the shared content objects to have individual permissions grantable to two or more users. A user configures a shareable unit to include attributes that describe a plurality of constituent shared content objects stored on one or more storage devices in the cloud-based storage system. An administrator or other user configures allow/deny access privileges to the shareable unit. Upon receiving a request from a user to access the shareable unit, a single access token is generated to provide access to the shared content objects that comprise the shareable unit. Ongoing access to the shareable unit is accomplished using the single access token, without the need to provision an access token or tokens pertaining to individual ones of the constituent shared content objects of the shareable unit.

Abstract: A server in a cloud-based environment interfaces with storage devices that store shared content. A user retrieves a web-based application from the server. The web-based application comprises a set of native operating system application code, a web content viewer, and a native operating system interface, which are configured to facilitate a transfer of one or more objects between the native operating system application code and the web content viewer. In response to a user upload request, the server generates an object placeholder in an editable document. Using the native operating system application code, objects can be selected for incorporation into the editable document. Shared access to the editable document and shared access to uploaded objects are provided by the server by posting links to locations in the storage devices. The web-based application replaces the object placeholder with a link to the object as stored by the server.

Abstract: Systems for dynamic watermarking within a cloud-based collaboration environment. Storage facilities are managed by servers to provide cloud-based storage services to two or more client entities as a service across a network. The servers maintain versions of editable documents or photo images or video clips using a version indication. Dynamic watermarking applies a first watermark image to a first version of the editable document and grants edit access to a first client entity of the two or more client entities. While the first client entity has edit access to the first version of the editable document the system generates a second version of the editable document and applies a second watermark image to the second version of the editable document before delivering the second version to a second client entity. A security watermark is based on a user credential, and a leak source can be determined based the user credential.

Abstract: Systems for managing content in a cloud-based service platform. Embodiments operate using a server in a cloud-based environment. The server is configured to interface with one or more storage devices that store content objects. The server is further configured to carry out a protocol between the server and a user interface that supports access to the storage devices. In example configurations, the server is capable of processing at least three different access requests types that are raised from a user interface. A first access type corresponds to an access request type by a registered user. A second access type corresponds to an access request type to permit an application that is invoked by operation of the user interface to be run on the server and to produce further content objects. A third access type corresponds to an access request type that uses an inherited user profile to run a microservice.
