Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for performing email synchronization in situations where mobile-device connectivity is lacking. The mobile device can send an SMS message to an email notification server requesting email synchronization and the email notification server can request synchronization with the email server associated with the user's email account. After receiving an email from the email server, the email notification server cart encrypt the email and break it into various chunks, with each chunk including a header having identifying information. The chunks can be transmitted as SMS messages to the mobile device. The email application can retrieve the SMS messages, decrypt them, and reconstruct the email. The email application can then display the email for the user.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for managing playback of digital content on two or more different playback devices. A playback device designated as a controller is associated with a playback device designated as a playback target. Association is implemented via a local network discovery protocol. The controller issues commands to the target, which then streams digital content directly from a content server. The controller is able to separately stream related digital content for independent, but synchronized playback. Server mediated operations, such as device activation and application installation, are advantageously enabled by explicit association between the controller and the target.

Abstract: Disclosed is an approach that enables users of a workflow automation software system (WASS) to allow other users unable to use the WASS to access computer files in the WASS. A first user with access to the WASS may request that an email message be sent to a second user to give the second user access to a computer file. A string having a fixed portion and a variable portion may be inserted into the body of the email message. The WASS may request a unique document identifier (UDI) for the computer file from the DMS. The UDI or a variation thereof may be inserted into the variable portion to form a modified string. The email message may be sent with the modified string as a uniform resource locator (URL) that allows the second user to use the URL to access one or more files or folders via the DMS.

Abstract: A provider network hosting multiple network-based services that implement different resources for a client may provide automated management of resource attributes across the multiple network-based services. A client may send a request to a resource attribute service implemented at the provider network to add a resource attribute to different resources implemented among different network-based services that satisfy resource metadata selection criteria. In response to receiving the request, resource metadata maintained for the different resources implemented among the different network-based resources, which may include one or more previously applied resource attributes, may be evaluated to identify those resources that satisfy the resource metadata selection criteria. For those resources that satisfy the resource metadata selection criteria, the resource attribute may be added to the resource metadata maintained for the different resources.
