Abstract: Systems for managing shared content in a cloud-based service platform. A method commences upon identifying one or more storage devices that store one or more content objects. The storage devices may be partitioned into geographically distant locations. A first partition in one geography is associated with a first set of content objects and a second partition is associated with a second set of content objects. An inviter-collaborator generates a set of outgoing collaboration attributes pertaining to a shared content object from the first partition. The outgoing collaboration attributes are stored on the inviter's partition. An invitee-collaborator accepts the invitation and generates a set of incoming collaboration attributes that derive from the set of outgoing collaboration attributes. The set of incoming collaboration attributes are stored on the invitee's partition.
