Abstract: A method for saving a file stored on a third-party system to a cloud storage system includes receiving, at a cloud storage server of the cloud storage system, a save request from the third party system. The save request is generated in response to a user selecting, via a user interface presented on a client computer, the file from a plurality of files stored on the third-party system, the file to be saved to the cloud storage server. The save request comprises a file identifier of the file and information identifying the user. The information identifying the user allows access to a user account of the user on the cloud storage system without use of the client computer as intermediary service, and the third-party system stores the file associated with the file identifier. The method further includes authenticating the save request, based at least in part on the information identifying the user, creating a copy of the file at the cloud storage server, and associating the copy of the file with the user.

Abstract: A system and method for recursive propagating application access control relate to managing third-party application access to content files and folders on a cloud storage system. The access control system may receive an access authorization indication to grant a third-party entity access to a parent folder containing a first file, and then modify an access control rule associated with the parent folder based on the access authorization indication. The modified access control rule is propagated to a child folder of the parent folder, and thus the third-party entity is granted access to a second file in the child folder based on the modified access control rule. The second file shares a common attribute with the first file, 1 and the modified access control rule specifies the common attribute.
