Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that facilitates accessing audio files associated with a user from an online content management system. During operation, the online content management system receives a function call from a client to list audio files associated with the user. In response to the function call, the system filters through operations for files associated with the user to identify audio files. Next, the system returns metadata for the identified audio files associated with the user to the client. In some embodiments, filtering through the operations involves filtering an operation log to identify operations performed on audio files associated with the user, wherein the operations occurred since a preceding call to the function.

Abstract: A user viewing an online content item using an online content client application can, from within that application, launch an operating application to operate on the content item. The operating application can interact with the online content management provider to obtain a current copy of the content item and to save a modified content item back to the online content management service, e.g., if the user instructs the operating application to save the item. Interactions between the client application, the operating application and the online content management service can occur without requiring the user to manually initiate upload or download of any content items. Operations on an online content item can also be initiated from within an operating application.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for managing, creating, and presenting a virtual collection. In some embodiments, a content management system can receive a request to display a virtual collection of content items from a first user account, whereupon at least one content identifier stored for the virtual collection can be retrieved. The at least one content identifier can identify at least one content item in data storage. Subsequently, updated information can retrieved for the at least one content item, including at least one of an updated location within a file system hierarchy or a modification to the at least one content item by a second user account, for example. An updated content item can then be selectively provided for display with the virtual collection in accordance with accessibility to the content item permitted by the second user account.
