Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a method for an electronic device. The method receives, through a communication address, an invitation to access a shared data asset via a cloud services platform. When the communication address is not associated with any account on the cloud services platform, the method identifies whether the device is associated with a cloud services account. When the device is associated with a cloud services account, the method prompts for input of a password for the cloud services account in order for the communication address to be associated with the cloud services account and for access to be enabled to the shared data asset.
