In some embodiments, information is received on a creation location and a date and time of creation of a content item, and a determination is made if (i) the date and time of creation is within a predefined span of time, and (ii) the creation location is within a predefined geographical area to permit association of the content item with a shared folder whose inclusion criteria match said date and time and geographic location.

Abstract: The present technology pertains to synchronized video viewing that is supported by the use of a pending changes count to keep the client devices in synchronization while providing a user experience that matches the expectations of the user. A second client device can receive input to change some aspect of the playback of a video that is being viewed synchronously with at least one other device. The second client device can process the event so the video can reflect the received input. The second client device can also send a collaboration message to a synchronized video viewing service to inform other client devices of the command. Since the second client device is aware of its own event, the second client device can ignore processing any other collaboration messages until it receives the collaboration message it initiated echoed back to it. Thereafter it can resume processing received collaboration messages.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating, providing, and editing collaborative content items on client devices. For example, the disclosed systems provide a collaborative content item that includes a text display state and a render display state. A client device can provide for the collaborative content item to receive source text in the text display state. Then, based on the source text, the client device can provide for display of the collaborative content item in the render display state that generates a graphical representation for the collaborative content item based on rendering the source text. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods allow two or more client devices to simultaneously modify the source text associated with the collaborative content item, and in turn, modify the graphical representation of the collaborative content item based on the modified source text.

Sending the call causes the content management system to perform a lookup in a content item index to identify at least one content item that satisfies the one or more content item search criteria. Based on sending the call, the client application receives from the content management system a suggestion to attach the at least one content item to a text being displayed by at the computing system.

Abstract: A computing system generates a default view of content items associated with a user account. The default view is representative of an underlying hierarchical structure of the content items associated with the user account. The computing system receives a request to transition from the default view to a modified view of the content items. The computing system ranks the content items based on a predicted likelihood of the user interacting with the particular content item. The computing system identifies the subset of content items for the modified view based on the ranking. The computing system generates the modified view based on the identified subset of the content items. The modified view maintains the underlying hierarchical structure of the content items associated with the user account. The computing system provides the modified view to the user associated with the user account for display.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to providing a multi-root architecture for managing devices associated with their own root namespaces. The system can include backing up multiple computing devices to a single user account such that the content items from each computing device are stored in their own respective root namespace at the user account. With each user account having multiple root namespaces, the system can identify which root namespace is receiving changes, identify which changes are necessary to synchronize the system, and then communicate those changes to the content management system. This process is facilitated by running a synchronization engine for each root namespace, thereby controlling synchronization for each root namespace. Each synchronization engine is able to retain its own parameters of operation, which provides the ability to tailor synchronization modes on each synchronization engine.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating contextual hubs for organizing and presenting web-accessible content from third-party sources.

Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques encompass using distinct machine learning sub-models to score respective types of candidate content for the purpose of providing personalized content suggestions to end-users of a content management system. The relevancy scores generated by the distinct sub-models are mapped to expected end-user interaction scores of the candidate content scored. Content suggestions are provided at end-users' computing devices where the suggested content is selected from the candidate content based on the expected end-user interaction scores of the candidate content. For each distinct sub-model, a normalizing mapping function is solved using an optimizer that maps the relevancy scores generated by the sub-model for the candidate content to expected end-user interaction scores for the candidate content. The expected end-user interaction scores are comparable across the distinct sub-models and can be used to rank content suggestions across the distinct sub-models.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for capturing and displaying partial motion in VAR scenes. VAR scenes can include a plurality of images combined and oriented over any suitable geometry. Although VAR scenes may provide an immersive view of a static scene, current systems do not generally support VAR scenes that include dynamic content (e.g., content that varies over time). Embodiments of the present invention can capture, generate, and/or share VAR scenes. This immersive, yet static, view of the VAR scene lacks dynamic content (e.g., content which varies over time). Embodiments of the present invention can efficiently add dynamic content to the VAR scene, allowing VAR scenes including dynamic content to be uploaded, shared, or otherwise transmitted without prohibitive resource requirements. Dynamic content can be captured by device and combined with a preexisting or simultaneously captured VAR scene, and the dynamic content may be played back upon selection.
