Abstract: There are provided a method and a system for controlling downloading of a file in a cloud storage service. The method can be executed at a server. The method comprises appreciating an activity parameter representative of total download activity of a file from a cloud storage service via a communication network, and, responsive to the activity parameter being above a pre-determined threshold, applying a remedial action to the downloading of the file, such that the remedial action is applied only to downloading of the file via a data transmittal path that a user has received from the user who uploaded the file to the cloud storage service, and downloading of the file by the user who uploaded the file is not affected.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of and system for providing access to a file from a user to a web resource, without the web resource needing to store the file on its server.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of organising objects stored on a server. The method comprises: receiving a first clustering request for a first metadata mapping; based at least in part on the metadata, generating the first metadata mapping of the first subset of objects to the first cluster, the first metadata mapping not being in existence prior to said receiving; receiving, via the communication network, from the electronic device an indication of a user action with the first subset of objects being displayed on the electronic device, the user action causing a change from the first subset of objects into a second subset of objects; based at least on the metadata associated with the second subset of objects, generating a second metadata mapping of the second subset of the objects to a second cluster, the second metadata mapping not being in existence prior to said receiving.
