Publication number: 20240106902Abstract: In some embodiments, a client application at a client device can receive, from a browser application at the client device, a first message including a unique identifier associated with a session of the browser application at a website associated with a content management system. The client application can extract the unique identifier from the first message, and establish a connection between the client application and the content management system by sending, from the client application to the content management system, a second message including the unique identifier. The client application can then receive, from the content management system through the connection, a third message relayed by the content management system from the website, where the third message is associated with the unique identifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Andrew Bortz, Sang Tian, Joshua Kaplan, Devdatta Akhawe

Publication number: 20220286417Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for combining content management system functionality with an email or messaging server. A system can associate an email with a content item, through express attachment, direct reference such as a link, indirect reference, or otherwise. The system can store the associated content item within content item storage or identify a stored content item that is identical to the content item that is associated with the email. The system can then enhance email service functionality with the stored content item. For example, the system can present the stored content item or information about the stored content item along with the email. The system can also automatically grant permissions to the stored content item with participants of the email.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: Samir Goel, Abhishek Agrawal, Devdatta Akhawe, Renuka Apte, Nikhil Bhargava, Pranav Piyush, Samir Naik, Nicholas Sundin

Patent number: 10282522Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for cross-application authentication on a content management system. A client application running at a client device that is not authenticated with a content management system can receive, from a website associated with the content management system, a request to authenticate with the content management system under a user account used to authenticate a current session between a browser application at the client device and the website with the content management system. The client application can then obtain a uniform resource locator (URL) with a nonce associated with the client application, and send a command to the browser application including the URL and nonce. The command can trigger the browser application to use the URL and nonce to authenticate the client application with the content management system under the user account with which the current session between the browser application and the website is currently authenticated.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Sang Tian, Joshua Kaplan, Devdatta Akhawe
