Abstract: A document management system that is adapted to allow users to share files or folders by: (1) creating a link to the files or folders; and (2) sharing the link with other users. In particular embodiments, the system is adapted to keep track of any links generated by, sent by, and/or received by a particular user. The system may display a listing of the links upon request by a user, so that the user may re-use or deactivate the links, or modify attributes of the links. Having a centralized listing of the links may be particularly advantageous in helping a user keep track of the files and folders that they have shared and received.

Abstract: A consistency verification system that verifies data consistency in a content item management system. The system maintains a plurality of verifiers for checking data consistency, each verifier comprising instructions for verifying consistency for a type of requests. The system may verify the original request by selecting a verifier from the plurality of verifiers based on a type of the original request. Using the selected verifier, the consistency verification system may send verification requests to the content item management system at a second timestamp that is a period of time after the original timestamp. The system may determine whether the second response is consistent with the first response. If the responses are not consistent, the system may output information describing data inconsistency. If the responses are consistent, the system may output results and perform further verifications to help ensure data accuracy.

Abstract: The present technology can move operating system folders into a sync folder of a cross platform content management system, and redirect the operating system to look for the OS folders in the sync folder. The present technology also provides an invariant checker to make sure that another application has not moved the OS folders after they have been placed in the sync folder, and provides solutions when the OS folders are moved out of the sync folder of the content management system. Additionally, when OS folders for multiple client devices are in the sync folder on the content management system, the present technology can provide a mechanism to make the content items in an OS folder on a first client device also sync into an OS folder on second client device.

Abstract: One variation of a system for implementing a key-value data store includes one or more processors, storage media and instructions stored in the storage media which, when executed by the system cause the system to: receive a request store a particular key-value item; request a first networked distributed data storage system to store the particular key-value item; based on a determination that a set of one or more offload criteria is satisfied: retrieve a first set of key-value items from the first networked distributed data storage system, and request a second networked distributed data storage system to store the first set of key-value items in a first set of one or more data objects. The first networked distributed data storage system can have a lower data write latency and a higher data storage cost than the second networked distributed data storage system.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for identifying accounts having shared credentials. In some implementations, a content management system can collect user login context data when a user logs in to or accesses a user account of the content management system. For example, the content management system can collect client device data, client application data, internet protocol (IP) address data, and/or other data from the user's device when the user logs in to the user account. The content management system can analyze the login context data to determine patterns that indicate that the user account login credentials are being shared among multiple users.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for shared folder backed integrated workspaces. In some implementations, a content management system can provide a graphical user interface (GUI) that integrates communications and content management into a single user interface. The user interface can include mechanisms that allow a user to provide input to generate a new workspace. The user interface can provide a mechanism to allow a user to view conversations related to the workspace and/or content items associated with the workspace. The user interface can present representations of content items associated with the workspace and allow the user to provide input to generate, view, edit, and share content items associated with the workspace.

Abstract: A collaborative content management system allows for the mutual-synchronization of content within a spreadsheet and within a document in which a set of spreadsheet cells are embedded. When a user modifies the embedded set of cells, the spreadsheet is updated to reflect the modification. A set of tasks, for instance each associated with descriptive text and one or more interactive elements, can be incorporated into a set of spreadsheet cells such that a user can interact with the tasks. A data value from a spreadsheet cell can be embedded into a document such that when the spreadsheet is updated and the data value changes, the corresponding embedded data value within the document can be changed. Spreadsheets can also include comments that can be navigated using a movable interface element that changes position within the spreadsheet based on a location of a set of cells corresponding to a comment.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for providing access to a hybrid web application offline. In some implementations, a computing device can be configured with a hybrid application that includes a native layer and a web view. The native layer can provide access to native features of the computing device while the web view can provide web client features, such as graphical user interfaces and server communication functionality. When the computing device is offline and the hybrid application is invoked, the native layer can load from local storage a resource bundle including the web code needed to present the web view graphical user interface, and/or facilitate communication with the web server. Similarly, when the computing device is offline, the hybrid application can load previously stored content items into the web view from local storage through the native layer so that the user can work with the content items offline.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating content item to virtual meeting associations based upon whether content items are accessed during a virtual meeting. During a virtual meeting, a monitoring application executing on a personal computing device detects a user-input-triggered access of a content item during a virtual meeting. In response to detecting the user-input-triggered access of the content item, the monitoring application displays, in a computer graphical user interface, an indication that the monitoring application is associating the content item with the virtual meeting. The monitoring application stores content-item-to-virtual-meeting association data that associates the content item with the virtual meeting.

Abstract: The present technology can provide a mechanism for providing a team member transfer interface to an administrator user for transferring team member user accounts from one team to another and also a mechanism for transferring the team member user accounts, such as by switching an assignment of one or more user accounts from a first team to another in a single atomic action. The transferring of the team member user accounts may also depend on passing a set of validation checks that check for inconsistencies that could cause an error in the transfer, and also updating access and privileges associated with being members of certain teams.

Abstract: In some implementations, a subscriber to an online content management system can share content items that are external to the subscriber's content library. A computing device can include managed content items associated with the subscriber's content library. The computing device can include unmanaged content items that are stored externally to the subscriber's content library. The subscriber can provide input associated with an unmanaged content item to generate a link (e.g., URL, file path, location reference, etc.) for the unmanaged content item. When generating the link, the unmanaged content item can be uploaded to the online content management system and stored separately from the subscriber's content library. The generated link can be shared with recipient user (e.g., subscriber or non-subscriber). The generated link can be used by the recipient to access the unmanaged content item uploaded to and stored by the online content management system.
