Abstract: The disclosed technology provides for sharing of collections between teams from external entities. The present technology allows administrators of an entity to manage what teams from their entity can be exposed outside of the entity and to manage how their entity is viewed by external partners. Sharing between teams provides benefits of easier sharing whereby it is not necessary to share a collection individually with all users of a team. It also provides a more logical sharing paradigm where collaboration is otherwise thought of between two partner entities and not specific employees of those entities. Sharing between teams allows an administrator to manage the user accounts associated with the team so that as team members come and go, all current team members will have access to projects in which the team is involved. Additionally, established teams can be configured to enjoy the full collaborative benefits of the content management system.

Abstract: In some embodiments, upon detecting malicious activity associated with a user account, a content management system can identify other user accounts related to the malicious user account.

Abstract: A topology-based monitoring and alerting system is disclosed. Streams of metric time series values emitted by computing nodes in a distributed computing system that are relevant to the queries are aggregated in query caches in a historically accurate manner. Submissions of the queries for progressing time periods are answered from the query caches with historically accurate query results. Because streamed metric time series values are pre-aggregated in the query caches prior to a submission of a query for a time period, the submission can be answered with computational efficiently from the query cache established for the query while providing a historically accurate query result.

Abstract: A content management system for collecting files from one or more submitters in a collection folder. A collector, who generates the collection folder, can invite one or more submitters to submit one or more files to the collection folder in response to a public file request. The one or more submitters have limited rights to the collection folder. The limited rights can include uploading rights and prohibiting a submitter from viewing files that other submitters associated with the collection folder submitted. Thus, the collection folder is able to store files from the one or more submitters, but prevent them from viewing other's submissions.

Abstract: One or more embodiments of a thumbnail caching system dynamically provide a thumbnail cache of digital content items (e.g., photos, videos, audio) to a user on a client device. In particular, the thumbnail caching system provides a thumbnail cache of a digital content collection to a client device such that the thumbnail cache does not exceed a threshold storage limit for the client device. In addition, the thumbnail caching system intelligently adjusts the thumbnails within the thumbnail cache to keep the size of the thumbnail cache within the threshold storage limit irrespective of the number of digital content items stored or added to the digital content collection. Further, the thumbnail caching system can dynamically adjust the size of the thumbnail cache in response to a user adding or removing external data to the client device.
