Abstract: The disclosed technology addresses the need in the art for a content management system that can be highly flexible to the needs of its subjects. The present technology permits any object to be shared by providing a robust and flexible access control list mechanism. The present technology utilizes a data structure that is highly efficient that both minimizes the amount of information that needs to be written into any database, but also allows for fast reads and writes of information from authoritative tables that are a source of truth for the content management system, while allowing for maintenance of indexes containing more refined data that allow for efficient retrieval of certain information that would normally need to be calculated when it is needed.

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: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing projects in a content management system. For example, the content management system can create a project folder (e.g., shared folder) for managing data associated with a project. The project folder can be shared with content management system users (e.g., project members) who are contributors to the project. The content management system can store project data (e.g., content items, communications, comments, tasks, etc.) related to the project in the project folder. When the project folder is selected by a user, the content management system can generate a project folder view that presents the project data associated with the project folder and/or project in a convenient and easy to access graphical user interface. The content management system can aggregate project data from various content items associated with the project and present the project data in a single graphical user interface.

Abstract: A message can be selectively provided to users of an online content management service based at least in part on a user relationship between the users and a shared content item. Users having the user relationship associated with the message can be shown the message, where users without the user relationship are not shown the message. For example, a message can be configured to be shown upon the first time a content item is opened by a user, but not on subsequent openings of the content item.

Abstract: The disclosed technology addresses the need in the art for synchronizing a content library between a content management system and client devices. Each content item in a user's content library is stored on the content management system and a record of each change to the content library is recorded in a content journal. A client device transmits a synchronization request that a portion of the content journal representing unsynchronized changes be processed to update the content library on the client device. The synchronization request includes a content library identifier and a content journal number identifying the content entry in the content journal last processed by the client device. Synchronization commands are sent based on the content entries not processed by the client device. Updated synchronization data representing the processed content entries is sent to the client device after synchronization is completed.

Abstract: A deployable restroom may include individually accessible—and access controlled—restroom units. That is, only authorized users identified using electronic readers and/or face detection cameras may be allowed to access the restroom units. For each access, the identification of the user and the corresponding time stamps may be recorded such that there is an accurate access log of who accessed a restroom unit and when—thereby keeping all users identifiable and accountable. One or more security perimeter cameras may continuously monitor the surroundings to complement or augment the access log.

Abstract: In a synchronization system, the present invention provides an improved user interface through which a user can view and manage settings associated with the user's account in the synchronization system. In the preferred embodiment, a column is displayed for each electronic device associated with the user's account in the synchronization system. In each column is a visual representation of items (e.g., folders) that are (1) backed up, remotely accessible and/or synchronized in the synchronization system and (2) located on the electronic device associated with such column. For each item that is synchronized across multiple devices, all the visual representations of such item in the columns are aligned across a single row in the interface. In the preferred embodiment, there is an arrow, or other visual indicator, between the visual representations of such items to indicate that the items are synchronized.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for providing an embedded web view of a folder in a content management system on a web page. For example, a user can request from a content management system code for embedding a web view of a content item or group of content items (e.g., folder) into a web page. After the code is embedded into the webpage, the web page can present a web view of the content item or group of content items that is dynamically updated when the content item or group of content items is updated. Thus, the user is relieved of the burden of updating the web page with new links to reflect changes in content items stored in the online content management system.

Abstract: A computing system identifies a third-party dependency to be added to a codebase. The third-party dependency is hosted on a third-party server. The computing system downloads the third-party dependency within a secure runtime environment. The computing system generates a signature value for the third-party dependency. The computing system compares the signature value to a database of signature values of approved third-party dependencies. Upon determining that the signature value does not correspond to any signature values of the approved third-party dependencies, the computing system executes the third-party dependency within the secure runtime environment. The computing system monitors the execution of the third-party dependency within the secure runtime environment to identify suspicious activity. Upon determining that the third-party dependency is not exhibiting suspicious activity, the computing system adds the signature value to the database of signature values of approved third-party dependencies.

In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems analyze content from various web-based data sources, collect relevant content, create synthesized tasks associated with the relevant content, and present the relevant content to the user grouped into synthesized tasks in a single graphical user interface. Additionally, the disclosed systems can prioritize the generated synthesized tasks within the graphical user interface and provide productivity metrics based on the degree to which an associated user interacts with the synthesized tasks.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for automatically formatting content items for presentation. For example, in response to receiving an invocation of a presentation mode for a content item, a computing device can generate a tree structure representing the structure of the content item. The computing device can generate a presentation version of the content item based on a presentation template that defines the presentation formatting for the content item. The computing device can traverse the tree and determine a portion of the presentation version of the content item to present based on the amount of content that can fit within a display size of a display device. In some implementations, the computing device can determine portions of content to suppress and/or highlight based on various characteristics, metadata, comments, links, etc., corresponding to the portions of content in the content item.

The file request is distributed along with the one or more metadata tags to the one or more student.

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.
