Abstract: A method for editing and updating content of a collaborative document within a preview user interface is provided. The method includes receiving, by a content management platform, a request for a document stored within the content management platform in a format of a first application, wherein the request is received from a client device of a first user of the content management platform via a second application that is different from the first application, and wherein the document includes a first comment provided by a second user of the content management platform at a first point in time with respect to a first portion of the collaborative document.

Abstract: A first request to create a folder to organize data files that are to be stored at a third-party storage server is received at an application server and from a user device. Responsive to receiving the first request to create the folder, a second request indicating that the folder is to be created at the third-party storage server is sent by the application server and to the third-party storage server. An indication that the folder has been created at the third-party storage server is received from the third-party storage server. Responsive to receiving the indication that the folder has been created at the third-party storage server, an instance of the folder is generated by the application server.

Abstract: A method for editing and updating content of a collaborative document within a preview user interface is provided. The method includes a content management platform receives a request for a file stored which is stored in a third-party application format. The system causes a rendered graphical image of the file to be presented within a preview user interface. The rendered graphical image of the file represents a view of the file as if opened within a third-party application. The system receives from the preview user interface, content associated with a portion of the file. The system generates a new version of the file that includes the content associated with the portion of the file.

Abstract: An application server receives from a user device a first request to create a data file that is to be stored at a third-party storage server. Responsive to receiving the first request to create a data file that is to be stored at the third-party storage server, the application server sends to the third-party storage server a second request indicating that the data file is to be created at the third-party storage server. An indication that the data file has been created at the third-party storage server is received from the third-party storage server. Responsive to receiving the indication that the data file has been created at the third-party storage server, the application server generates an instance of the data file that is stored at the application server. The application server provides to the user device the instance of the data file for edit via a relevant application.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide access to a data file stored at a remote data storage system. A user device can send a file access request, via a user interface provided by the remote storage server, to the application server to access a data file stored at the remote storage server. The application server can then optionally identify a relevant application for accessing the data file, and send, to the remote server, a metadata-and-content request relating to the data file. The metadata-and-content request includes version information of a previously cached version of the data file cached at the application server. When the cached version is not the latest version, the application server receives the latest version of the data file from the remote storage server. The latest version of the data file is then presented, via the relevant application on the application server, to the user device.
