Patent number: 12174814Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Aaron Passey, Braden Walker, Akos Albert

Patent number: 12039063Abstract: The present technology pertains to a link service that can create, maintain, and service links to objects on behalf of a content management system or other services. The link service can share administration of links with other services when desired or can even allow other services to issue the link and manage the object that is the subject of the link while providing other functions to support the link. Additionally, link service can interface with a file system that can support links as actors in the file system, whereby greater control and flexibility in supporting links is provided. Link service can also accommodate servicing and management of links issued by legacy services, where the legacy services have unique link logic that should still be utilized to maintain a consistent user experience.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Aaron Passey, Fangzhou Wang, Eric Cunningham, Royce Ausburn, Nicholas Larson, David Wetterau, William Ho, Harrison Ho
