  • Patent number: 11481302
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for triggering a processing of a data object stored in a bucket in a data store. In one embodiment, a cloud computing resource comprising one or more processors in communication with a data store receives a notification event generated in response to a modification of a data object in one or more buckets. The cloud computing resource determines, responsive to the received notification event, that a data object stored in a bucket in the data store has been modified. The cloud computing resource triggers a processing of the data object by executable code associated with the data object. The executable code causes a notification message, processing of the modified data object, or other user specified processes within a platform as a service cloud computing offering.

  • Patent number: 11468417
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of a file service. In some embodiments, a plurality of files are stored. Each of the files includes a corresponding file object identifier and a corresponding storage object identifier. A user interface comprises a single view that shows the plurality of files. A file object identifier of a particular file is mapped to a storage object identifier for the particular file. The storage object identifier specifies a network address where a storage object of the particular file is stored. Access is provided to the particular file based at least in part on the storage object identifier.

  • Patent number: 11403262
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a local networked storage that is linked to a remote networked storage system. In one embodiment, among others, a computing device obtains a request to read a file stored in a remote networked storage system in association with a user account, in which the request is obtained from a client computing device through a local network. The computing device also determines that the file is stored in a local cache and receives the latest file signature associated with the file from the remote networked storage system. The computing device can determine that the latest file signature corresponds to a file signature of the file stored in the local cache and can determine that the file stored in the local cache corresponds to the latest version of the file. The file can be sent through the local network.

  • Patent number: 10931754
    Abstract: Architectures and techniques are described to provide personal remote storage space for electronic content items acquired (e.g., purchased) by a user of a client device. In some cases, as part of a transaction to acquire the electronic content item, an individual may receive an option that is selectable to indicate a preference to send electronic content items acquired by the individual to a personal remote storage space of the individual. When the option to store the electronic content item in the personal remote storage space is not selected by the individual, the electronic content item may be provided directly to a designated computing device of the individual.

  • Patent number: 10891679
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments relating to generating media item recommendations based upon determining a beats per minute value. A media recommendation application determines a beats per minute value based upon a pacing measurement of the user. The media recommendation application then identifies one or more media item having a beats per minute that is similar to the beats per minute value. The media recommendation application then identifies a subset of the media item candidates to surface as recommendations for the user.

  • Patent number: 10121182
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments relating to generating media item recommendations based upon determining a beats per minute value. A media recommendation application determines a beats per minute value based upon the activity of a user. The media recommendation application then identifies one or more media item candidates having a number of beats per minute within a predefined delta of the beats per minute value. The media recommendation application then filters out the media items possessed and information associated with the user to identify a subset of the media item candidates to surface as recommendations.

  • Patent number: 10108955
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of a file service which meters costs associated with aggregated file storage. A separate storage area is created for each of a plurality of cost center managers. A default storage area is created that is not associated with any of the cost center managers. Each storage area is divided into a plurality of logical partitions. Each logical partition corresponds to a content user. A content user is allowed to access a file in the corresponding logical partition of the corresponding storage area.

  • Patent number: 9836479
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for storage of files. A removable memory device is configured to couple to a computing device, and a storage management application is stored in the removable memory device, the storage management application being executable by a processor circuit. The storage management application is configured to send a plurality of files for storage in a networked storage system, the networked storage system being remote to the computing device. The storage management system caches a subset of the files on the removable memory device and maintains a local file directory in the removable memory device. The local file directory lists the files stored in the networked storage system in association with an account linked to the removable memory device.
