Abstract: Disclosed is a computing system capable of performing a method that involves determining that a first user is authorized to use each of a first device and a second device to access the computing system. The computing system may receive, from the first device, a file transfer request that identifies a first file, and may determine, based at least in part on the file transfer request, that the first file is to be transferred between the computing system and the second device. In response to the file transfer request and based at least in part on the first user being authorized to use each of the first and second devices to access the computing system, the computing system may cause the first file to be transferred between the computing system and the second device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining whether a message received by a client may be spam, in a computing environment that preserves privacy. The message may be encrypted. A client invokes the methods when a message is received from a sender that is not known to the client. A client can decrypt the message, break the message into chunks, and apply a differentially private algorithm to the set of chunks. The client transmits the differentially private message sketches to an aggregation server. The aggregation server receives a large collection of such message sketches for a large plurality of clients. The aggregation server returns aggregated message chunk (e.g. frequency) information to the client to assist the client in determining whether the message may be spam. The client can process the message based on the determination without disclosing the message content to the server.

Abstract: Techniques for partition balancing. Organization identifiers (orgIDs) are acquired for one or more organizations within a multi-organization on-demand services environment having multiple nodes, each of which have one or more partitions. A mapping of the orgIDs to the partitions within the multi-organization on-demand services environment is determined. Resource consumption for the organizations is determined. Resource consumption for the partitions based on the resource consumption of the organization and the mapping of the organization to the partitions is determined. A score for the partitions based on the resource consumption is generated. The partitions are redistributed among the nodes based on the partition scores.
