Abstract: Disclosed is an approach to implement a new layer of security within mobile devices using an encryption SDK, which implements a standalone component for applications to encrypt, decrypt, and view sensitive data on the device. A security layer is implemented on the device, wherein the security layer manages encryption for data retrieved onto the device from a cloud-based environment. Encrypted content is then generated at the security layer before storing the encrypted content by receiving the content object from the cloud-based environment and encrypting the content object with an encryption key that is password protected. The encrypted content is stored within an encrypted filesystem for presenting the content on the device.

Abstract: Systems for curating and presenting relevant collaboration activity to newly-added users in a cloud-based content management platform. A method embodiment commences by observing and recording user events that correspond to interactions between any number of users and any number of content objects. When a new person who does not have an event history is added, his/her user profile is updated to indicate he/she is a new user, and a start-up proxy user is identified. The proxy user refers to either a real user that is in some way similar to the newly-added user, or the proxy user is a virtual user as amalgamated from previously recorded user history records. The events in the history records of the proxy user are associated with the newly-added user. When the newly-added user interacts with a user interface of the cloud-based content management platform, feed entries are generated and presented to the newly-added user.

Abstract: Systems for managing content in a cloud-based service platform. A server in a cloud-based environment is interfaced with storage devices that hold one or more stored objects accessible by two or more users. The stored objects comprise folders and files as well as other objects such as workflow objects that are associated with the folders or the files. The workflow objects comprise workflow metadata that describes a workflow as a set of workflow tasks to be carried out in a progression. Processing of a workflow task and/or carrying out a portion of the progression includes modification of shared content objects. The processing or modification events are detected through workflow events, which in turn cause one or more workflow responses to be generated. Workflow responses comprise updates to the workflow metadata to record progression through the workflow and/or workflow responses comprise updates to any one or more of the stored objects.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods of conflict resolution, retry condition management and/or handling of problem files in the synchronization architecture of the cloud-based platform. One embodiment of the disclosed technology detects conflicts between incompatible changes made on opposite file systems based on file system sync results when executing a sync event on the file system. In one embodiment, the disclosed technology applies self-healing strategies when unexpected failures occur. For example, if a synchronization action fails repeatedly, an external action (e.g., from user, file system, etc.) can return the system back to a consistent state again.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for computing system security. Techniques for classifying a potentially unauthorized user as an authorized user involve comparisons of two or more access request times that occur at different computing devices in different geographical locations. Based on those comparisons and the distance between the geographical locations of the different computing devices, a determination is made as to whether or not travel (e.g., via overland travel, via air travel, etc.) between those different geographical locations can be reasonably accomplished within a given time period. If it is determined that the required time for travel between the different geographical locations is greater than the time between the access request times—thus suggesting a spoofing attack or other malfeasance—then the potentially unauthorized (i.e., only potentially malfeasant) access can still be deemed as an authorizable access request by analyzing browser configurations and activity patterns of the potentially unauthorized user.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for managing content objects in a content management system. A metadata template is assigned to a content object of the content management system. Extensible metadata pertaining to the content object is allocated in accordance with the assigned metadata template. Various operations over the content object result in population of the allocated extensible metadata. When the content object is subjected to a workflow, the execution flow and/or the form of responses associated with execution of the workflow are informed by the populated extensible metadata. A single content object can take on an association with multiple sets of extensible metadata and each set of extensible metadata can take on association with a respective workflow.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and mechanism to implement a communication channel between a web application and a locally running application on a computing system. A local communications server is employed to pass messages between the web application and a local application using a local comm server. The local comm server communicates with the local application over a named pipe that is dedicated to a specific web session and/or application.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying users of a collaboration system as search results. In one embodiment, the system performs a text-based content search of content items to identify relevant content. The disclosed system stores metadata associated with the content that includes various user information. The user information can be used to facilitate identification of relevant individuals (users or collaborators) as search results, in addition to or in lieu of, relevant content.

Abstract: System and methods for summarizing collaboration activity events into a plurality of pages that are then scored with respect to user-specific relevance that is based on a set of comprehensibility characteristic parameters. The collaboration activity events are summarized into groups of activities based on certain common attributes that are deemed to have quantitatively measurable relevance to the user. The groups of activities are assembled into a plurality of personalized candidate pages. The candidate summary pages are then scored using a function that includes parameters that serve to quantify how interesting or readable the particular user would find the particular candidate summary page. One or more of the higher scoring candidate summary pages are selected for presentation to the user.
