    Abstract: Methods and systems for online collaboration. A method embodiment facilitates collaborative editing of a cloud-based shared document using a browser-enabled platform native application. A user launches a platform native application and establishes a non-browser connection between the platform native application and a remote cloud-based shared file facility. The non-browser connection operates independently from any browser connections even though the platform native application includes a document editor web app within the embedded browser. A first user retrieves a first user copy of the cloud-based shared document, modifies the document, and shares the modified document so as to be accessible by other collaborating users.

After closing the first user copy of the document, the platform native application receives other collaborating user modifications over the non-browser connection. The collaborating user modifications are applied to the first user copy before the first collaborating user reopens the first user copy of the cloud-based shared document.
