    Abstract: An example computer implemented method to automatically download and install a second application can include a first application detecting that a condition has occurred. This first application can be preinstalled by the original equipment manufacturer. The first application can then present an interface for signing in to or signing up for a service. The first application can then download and install the second application. This downloading and installation can occur in the background without requiring user interaction. The second application can be a client application for the service and the first application can pass a token with login credentials to the second application. This can allow the second application to be authenticated with the service without requiring a user to reenter the user's credentials.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to obtain external credentials for a user account external to a content management system, wherein the external credentials are associated with a content item stored on the content management system. The system receives, from a client device, a client request for data associated with the external user account and transmits, to an external source, a proxy-request for the data associated with the external user account, wherein the proxy-request comprises the external credentials. The system further receives the data associated with the external account and transmits the data associated with the external account to the client device.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to receive, from a first client device, application data generated from the execution, by the first client device, of third-party application code embedded within a content item managed by a content management system, wherein the first client device is associated with a first user account of the content management system. The system is further configured to store, at the content management system, the application data as metadata associated with the content item and transmit, based on the received application data, a notification to a second client device associated with a second user account of the content management system with access to the content item.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a content management system can monitor events generated by client devices and associated with user accounts registered at the content management system, and determine notification triggering rules corresponding to the user accounts. The content management system can identify one or more events that satisfy a respective notification triggering rule from the notification triggering rules, and correlate the respective notification triggering rule to a respective user account from the user accounts to yield a user account and triggering rule correlation. Based on the user account and triggering rule correlation, the content management system can generate one or more notifications for the one or more events and send the one or more notifications to at least one of the client devices associated with the respective user account.
