  • Patent number: 10380551
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for implementing mixed collaboration teams. In some embodiments, a user of a content management system can create a team account within the content management system. The team account can be allocated resources of the content management system that allow team members to collaborate on content items (e.g., files, documents, etc.) managed by the content management system. The team can be allocated licenses to use the resources and the licenses can be allocated to team members. The team can be a mixed team including licensed and unlicensed members. Licensed members can have a higher level of access to the team resources than unlicensed members. The team administrator can manage licenses allocated to team members. The team administrator can have different privileges with respect to licensed and unlicensed team members.

  • Publication number: 20180191652
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for combining content management system functionality with an email or messaging server. A system can associate an email with a content item, through express attachment, direct reference such as a link, indirect reference, or otherwise. The system can store the associated content item within content item storage or identify a stored content item that is identical to the content item that is associated with the email. The system can then enhance email service functionality with the stored content item. For example, the system can present the stored content item or information about the stored content item along with the email. The system can also automatically grant permissions to the stored content item with participants of the email.

  • Publication number: 20180188901
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a client application at a computing device can receive a request to generate a digital focus area based on input criteria. In response to the request, the client application can search a local storage and/or a remote storage for content related to the input criteria to yield a content collection, the remote storage being associated with a user account registered at a content management system. The client application can generate a workspace for the digital focus area, the workspace containing selected content from the content collection. The client application can pin, to a desktop displayed on the computing device, an interface object associated with the digital focus area, the interface object providing access to the workspace. The client application can then monitor events associated with the input criteria, and update the digital focus area based on one or more of the events associated with the input criteria.

  • Publication number: 20180189736
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing tasks in a content management system. For example, the content management system can collect, aggregate, and/or store task data assigned to a user from across projects and/or content items. The user can select to view tasks for a particular project and/or from across all projects. The content management system can generate a single graphical user interface for presenting the task data associated with the user. The content management system can generate a graphical user interface the allows the user to move tasks from one task status graphical element (e.g., task status container) to another task status graphical element to change the status of a task associated with the user. Thus, the user can quickly and easily view the tasks assigned to the user and update the status of tasks in an easy to use graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 9967339
    Abstract: Shared content items are migrated between accounts on a content management system. Users store content items synchronized between one or more client devices and the content management system. A user may have multiple accounts including personal and organization accounts. Content items may be shared with accounts belonging to other users to enable those other users to view or manipulate the content items. A user initiates a migration of content items between accounts of different categories via a user interface, e.g., by dragging and dropping a folder from one account to another. The content management system recognizes that the user has deleted the folder from the user's first account and determines that an identical folder has been created in another account belonging to the same user. In response the content management system joins the second account to the shared folder, and removes the first account from the shared folder.
