    Abstract: A content management system rendering a file sharing GUI on a first device which is communicatively coupled to a content management system and associated with a first user having an account with the content management system. A file to be shared with a second user is identified in response to the file being selected and dragged. In response to the file being identified, a contact section displaying contact icons is rendered. The selected file is released on a displayed contact icon and a user identifier, e.g., an email address or account, associated with the displayed contact icon is identified. In response to the user identifier being identified, the selected file is shared with a second user associated with the user identified.

    Abstract: A system and method for proactively sending hosted content items to user computing devices. In one implementation, an online content management system collects access event data representing a plurality of access events pertaining a plurality of hosted content items. The system determines a cross-device access signal for a first hosted content item. The system then detects a first access event pertaining to the first hosted content item. Thereafter, the system determines whether the first access event matches the cross-device access signal. If the first access event matches the cross-device access signal, then the system sends a second hosted content item to a user computing device. The second hosted content item can be the first hosted content item. Alternatively, the second hosted content item can be a content item that is related to the first hosted content item according to the access event data.
