Patent number: 9582545Abstract: A system for optimizing the manner in which a listing of files is displayed to a user. In various embodiments, the system is configured to display the files based at least in part on a number of times the user has shared the files with other users of the system. In other embodiments, the system is configured to display the files based at least in part on the number of times the user has accessed the files or the number of times users with whom the files have been shared have accessed the files. In particular embodiments, the system displays files based at least in part on an amount of time that the user has accessed the files, that any user of the system has accessed the files, or that other users with whom that user has shared the files have accessed the files.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventor: Ramsey Homsany

Patent number: 9385980Abstract: Attachments received at an email account are processed according to a processing rule that is selected using, for example, a sender's email address, the sender's domain, or metadata in the email. A feature triggers the processing rule that then removes the attachment from the received email and stores the attachment in a rule-indicated directory. Processing rules can be defined by the email sender or by the email recipient. Changes to the attachment can be synchronized across multiple user devices and user accounts using a file sharing application.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2012Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Ramsey Homsany, Ilya Fushman

Publication number: 20140180801Abstract: A system for dynamically inserting advertisements into digital content is disclosed. In various embodiments, the system may be configured to receive a request to access digital content. In response to the request, the system may be configured to dynamically adjust the formatting of the digital content to create space in which the system can place an advertisement. Adjusting the formatting of the digital content may include moving text and/or images within the digital content to create the advertising space. The system may determine how to adjust the formatting of the digital content based on the type of device with which the digital content is being accessed. The system may also overlay partially transparent advertisements onto digital content.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2012Publication date: June 26, 2014Inventor: Ramsey Homsany

Publication number: 20140181155Abstract: Systems and methods for substantially automatically storing imaged documents in particular file storage locations. In various embodiments, the system is configured to automatically store an imaged document in a particular file storage location based, at least in part, on at least one machine-readable indicia (e.g., a bar code, such as a linear or matrix bar code) that is included within the document. In particular embodiments, the system is configured to store the documents under particular file names or as particular file types associated with the indicia. The system may also be adapted to automatically assemble multiple imaged documents into a single document based, for example, on respective page numbers that are associated with the machine-readable indicia, or that are included within the images themselves.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2012Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: DROPBOX, INC.Inventor: Ramsey Homsany
