  • Publication number: 20240028995
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing project tasks using content items. A user can create tasks within a content item. The tasks can be assigned to users and/or be assigned due dates. The content item can be shared with other users such that updates to the content item (e.g., updates to the tasks) can cause sending notifications to users associated with the content item. When a task in the content item is updated, all members of the project can be notified of the updated status of the task. A task list for a project can be created that aggregates tasks from multiple content items associated with the project. Tasks can be organized in the task list according to the content item the task was created in. Updates to tasks in the task list can cause corresponding updates to the tasks in the content items.

  • Publication number: 20230177464
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing reminders in a content management system. For example, a user can select content (e.g., a content item, content within a content item, metadata for a content item, etc.) and provide input to cause the content management system to generate a reminder related to the content. The reminder data can be generated automatically. The reminder can be generated based on user input defining attributes of the reminder. Based on a due date associated with the reminder, the content management system can cause a notification to be presented to the user so that the user can be reminded to perform a task related to the selected item of content. The user can select a representation of the reminder to cause the content management system to present the item of content associated with the reminder.

  • Patent number: 11113411
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to obtain external credentials for a user account external to a content management system, wherein the external credentials are associated with a content item stored on the content management system. The system receives, from a client device, a client request for data associated with the external user account and transmits, to an external source, a proxy-request for the data associated with the external user account, wherein the proxy-request comprises the external credentials. The system further receives the data associated with the external account and transmits the data associated with the external account to the client device.

  • Patent number: 10979235
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to retrieve a content item from a first domain of a content management system, analyze the content item to identify a portion of the content item that references third-party code, retrieve the third-party code from a second domain of the content management system, and execute the third-party code in the portion of the content item.

  • Patent number: 10970656
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing projects using references between the project and project items. Project items can be, for example, synchronized content items, collaborative content items, other projects, folders, tasks, user accounts, etc. The content management system can create a project identifier for managing data and/or people associated with a project. In various implementations, the content management system can store references between the project and project items in one or more folders associated with the project, in a database, in content item metadata, etc. In some implementations, the storage location of a content item does not affect whether it is associated with the project. When a project is selected by a user, the content management system can generate project view that presents various project items associated with the project in a convenient and easy to access graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 10878019
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to receive, from a first client device, application data generated from the execution, by the first client device, of third-party application code embedded within a content item managed by a content management system, wherein the first client device is associated with a first user account of the content management system. The system is further configured to store, at the content management system, the application data as metadata associated with the content item and transmit, based on the received application data, a notification to a second client device associated with a second user account of the content management system with access to the content item.

  • Patent number: 10491658
    Abstract: A collaborative content management system allows users to access collaborative content items. When a client device accesses a shared collaborative content item, the client device displays a portion of the collaborative content item that falls within a viewport. The client application generates a notification count of notification events associated with content that is contained in the collaborative content item and positioned below the viewport, and the client device displays the notification count in a graphical element adjacent to a bottom viewport edge. A similar process generates a second notification count of the notification events associated with content positioned above the viewport and displays a graphical element with the second notification count adjacent to the top viewport edge. The user can iteratively select one of the graphical elements to move the content of the collaborative content item to a portion corresponding to the next notification event above or below the viewport.
