Publication number: 20240031316Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing email attachments in an online content management system. In some implementations, a messaging client can receive input attaching a content item to an electronic message in a message thread. In response to the input, the messaging client can store the content item in a file system managed by an online content management system, generate a link to the content item, and insert the link in the electronic message. The content item can be shared with the recipients of the electronic message such that the content item can be synchronized across recipient devices by the online content management system. The messaging client on each recipient device and/or the sender's device can present representations of the attachments associated with the message thread in a centralized location on a GUI of the messaging client.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Huy Nguyen, Anvisha Pai, Brandon Souba, Nikrad Mahdi, Rajeev Nayak, Anand Prakash, Yang Zhang, Yuyang Guo, Erika DeBenedictis

Patent number: 11847438Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing offline capabilities to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The cloud collaboration platform may provide offline functions and a data application programming interface to devices connecting to the cloud collaboration platform. The offline capabilities allow devices to store data related to documents and customizable live applications in a local cache. The offline capabilities retrieve data from and store modifications to data within the local cache. The cloud collaboration platform may subsequently process the changes and determine if conflicts arise, resolving conflicts where appropriate and possible. The cloud collaboration platform may then determine a final state for a record, return the final state to the devices, and update the local caches.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Julie Tung, Rajeev Nayak, Kevin Gibbs, Bret Taylor, Yang Su, Nate Botwick, Pedram Razavi, Scott Goodfriend, Nikrad Mahdi, Andy Chung, Drew Hamlin, Patrick Linehan, Sophia Westwood, Lindsey Simon, Shrey Banga, Diana Berlin

Publication number: 20230067314Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a security model to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The security approach may dedicate a frame to each live application, serving the frame from a different domain than a document in which the live application is embedded. This approach ensures that more stringent security requirements may be required of the live application and allows the data presented to the live application to be narrowly tailored. The security model may further leverage sandbox attributes and content-security policies to restrict the behavior of sandboxed and non-sandboxed live applications in accordance with best security practices.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Applicant: Salesforce.com,Inc.Inventors: Julie TUNG, Rajeev Nayak, Kevin Gibbs, Bret Taylor, Yang Su, Nate Botwick, Pedram Razavi, Scott Goodfriend, Nikrad Mahdi, Andy Chung, Drew Hamlin, Patrick Linehan, Sophia Westwood, Lindsey Simon, Shrey Banga, Diana Berlin

Publication number: 20230052809Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting data processing are described. In some systems, a user device may receive an indication to aviate an in-line view of a data record from a data platform that is external to a document editing client. A server running the document editing client may query the external data platform for a value of a field of the data record based on the received indication to activate the in-line view. The server, the user device, or both may cause the value to be displayed within the document editing client in an in-line position at which the indication to activate the in-line view is received.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventors: Nathan Botwick, Anuj Bheda, Nikrad Mahdi, Justin Edmond, Kyle Meyer, Hieu Van Nguyen, David Rapoport, Jiaying Xu, Thinh Van Lam, Bashar Al-Rawi, Yunjie Ma, Oguz Demir, Melanie Matsuo

Patent number: 11169789Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a rich text box to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The rich text box component may extend styles and functions performed within a document editor in the cloud collaboration platform to customizable live applications. This extension ensures a consistent user experience where the behavior of text-editing in live application mirrors that of the standardized document editor. Additional functionality, such as mentions and auto-completions, may be performed by the rich text boxes embedded in a live application without adding to the code base of the live application, complicating design decisions, and/or circumventing the security requirements of a live application.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Julie Tung, Rajeev Nayak, Kevin Gibbs, Bret Taylor, Yang Su, Nate Botwick, Pedram Razavi, Scott Goodfriend, Nikrad Mahdi, Andy Chung, Drew Hamlin, Patrick Linehan, Sophia Westwood, Lindsey Simon, Shrey Banga, Diana Berlin

Patent number: 10606576Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a developer console to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The developer console may support the software development lifecycle for third-party live applications deployed in the cloud collaboration platform in a myriad of fashions. The developer console may vet live applications prior to deployment, provide release and version control mechanisms, and offer a range of configuration options to control third-party live applications. The developer console may provide an initial bundle to developers that include supporting functions and modules enabling the developer to run a development environment on a local server as a local platform. A developer console may allow developers to configure access to third-party data sources that may be harnessed by a live application.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Julie Tung, Rajeev Nayak, Kevin Gibbs, Bret Taylor, Yang Su, Nate Botwick, Diana Berlin, Pedram Razavi, Scott Goodfriend, Nikrad Mahdi, Andy Chung, Drew Hamlin, Patrick Linehan, Sophia Westwood, Lindsey Simon, Shrey Banga, Dave Engelberg, Dan Willhite

Patent number: 10489369Abstract: A content preview of a content item stored in an online storage system can be viewed on a client device without the content item itself being downloaded to the client device and without the use of software associated with the content item being installed on the client device. Furthermore, data storage and processing requirements can be minimized by creating and storing only one content preview for each unique content item. The content item can be identified by using the content item as a hash key in a hashing algorithm. The resulting unique identifier can be used to search a preview index that lists all created content previews and their location. A content preview is only created if one does not exist. The unique identifier can be used to locate the content preview and return it in response to a preview request by a client device.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: DROPBOX, INC.Inventors: Ziga Mahkovec, Nikrad Mahdi, Christopher Beckmann
