Patent number: 9935963Abstract: Techniques for sharing of items from online storage (e.g., cloud storage) are described herein. In at least some embodiments, sharing links can be configured as one-time sharing links that provide recipients with limited, one-time access to a shared item for the purpose of selecting or registering an account to use for subsequent access to the item. Recipients are able to select accounts they find most convenient for accessing a shared item without the owner/sharer of the item necessarily having contact information for those accounts or sending a link to the accounts. Selection of a one-time link initiates an authentication sequence that selectively provides an option to select a particular account. Once the one-time sharing link is redeemed, the one-time sharing link is invalidated for subsequent access to the item.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Arcadiy G. Kantor, Jonathan A. Bockelman, Jeffrey E. Steinbok, Sarah M. Filman

Patent number: 9606972Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems provide for an entity to receive collaboration context data regarding activities that have taken place with respect to a document when the entity views a reference to the document comprised within a communication directed to the entity. For example, a hyperlink related to a document may be emailed to an entity when the document is shared with the entity. Subsequently, when the entity views the email comprising the hyperlink, the entity may be provided with contextual information regarding the document (e.g., entities that have viewed the document, edits other entities have made to the document, etc.). In one embodiment, such information may be presented to the entity in the same application (e.g., email client and/or email service) as the email. In this way, the entity may be provided with information that may help the entity assess whether to access a shared document, for example.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2011Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sarah M.

Publication number: 20130066975Abstract: Techniques for sharing of items from online storage (e.g., cloud storage) are described herein. In some embodiments, sharing links can be configured as group opt-in links designed to provide recipients with an option to join a group having permissions on a corresponding shared item. A sharing link to an item may be generated and provided to a user for distribution to recipients in various ways. When selected by recipients, the sharing link causes an option to be exposed to the recipients to opt-in to a group having permissions on a corresponding item. Group membership is determined by recipients that exercise the option and recipients that opt-in are granted permissions on the item established for the group. Subsequently, an owner of the item/group may view a list of recipients who have opted-in as members and manage corresponding permissions on an individual basis.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2011Publication date: March 14, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Arcadiy G.

Publication number: 20130067303Abstract: Techniques for sharing of items from online storage (e.g., cloud storage) are described herein. In one approach, distinct sharing links to an item can be generated for multiple different publish targets through a single publishing user interface exposed to a user. Through the publishing user interface, a user may submit a request having a selection of different social networks and/or other sites/targets to receive a sharing link for an item. In response to the request, a distinct sharing link is generated for each selected recipient and the generated sharing links are published to appropriate targets. Thus, a user is able to easily send links for a shared item to multiple targets through a single request and can separately manage permissions associated with each distinct sharing link.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2011Publication date: March 14, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Arcadiy G.
