    Abstract: Nested namespaces for selective content sharing. In one embodiment, for example, a computer-implemented method includes the steps of: receiving a request to share a content item with a first set of user accounts held with a content management system; determining a first namespace to which the content item belongs; based on detecting that a second set of user accounts allowed to access the first namespace is different from the first set of user accounts, creating a second namespace nested in the first namespace; associating the first set of user accounts with the second namespace; and based on the first set of user accounts being associated with the second namespace, allowing the first set of user accounts to access content items, including the content item, belonging to the second namespace.

    Abstract: Shared content items are migrated between accounts on a content management system. Users store content items synchronized between one or more client devices and the content management system. A user may have multiple accounts including personal and organization accounts. Content items may be shared with accounts belonging to other users to enable those other users to view or manipulate the content items. A user initiates a migration of content items between accounts of different categories via a user interface, e.g., by dragging and dropping a folder from one account to another. The content management system recognizes that the user has deleted the folder from the user's first account and determines that an identical folder has been created in another account belonging to the same user. In response the content management system joins the second account to the shared folder, and removes the first account from the shared folder.

    Abstract: A content management system implementing methodologies providing retroactive shared content item links is disclosed. The content management system and methodologies allow a team administrator of a team to configure a team-wide shared link policy that determines whether non-team members can access content items associated with team accounts using shared links generated for the content items by team members. The team shared link policy has two settings. In a first setting, the content management system allows non-team members to use shared links generated by team members to access content items associated with team accounts. In a second setting, the content management system blocks access to the content items by non-team members. Shared links are retroactive in the sense they do not need to be regenerated after the team shared link policy has been changed from the second setting back to the first setting.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the disclosed technology can obtain information about associations between users (e.g., user accounts) of a content management system and applications compatible with the content management system. Various embodiments can also obtain information about a plurality of attributes associated with usage of the content management system by the users (e.g., user accounts). In some embodiments, the attributes can include a device property, a usage pattern, an account property, a content item property, a profile property, a preference property, or a domain property. Moreover, data about social connections of the users (e.g., user accounts) can also be obtained. Based, at least in part, on at least one of the information about the associations, the information about the plurality of attributes, or the data about the social connections, one or more applications can be recommended to a selected user (e.g., a selected user account).

    Abstract: Techniques for domain capture. In one embodiment, for example, a method comprises detecting an attempt by a personal user account to use the online service where the account is associated with an electronic mail address that belongs to an owner of a domain name service domain. Based on detecting the attempt, the online service prompts the particular personal user account to join a team of user accounts. Upon receiving an acceptance of the particular personal user account to join the team, the personal user account is offered an option between converting the personal user account to a team user account that is a member of the team or changing the electronic mail address associated with the personal user account to a different electronic mail address that is not owned.

    Abstract: A content item sharing and synchronization system providing team shared folders is described. Users of the system have access to the team shared folder simply by being a member of a team. A team account manager of the team can grant access to the team shared folder simply by inviting selected users to the team. Similarly, the team account manager can revoke access to the team shared folder simply by removing a user from the team. Unlike typical network file server folders, separate access control list management for the team shared folder apart from user team membership management is not needed to grant and revoke access to the team shared folder, thereby reducing administrative steps necessary to effectively manage access to the team shared folder.

    Abstract: Nested namespaces for selective content sharing are provided. In a content management system, content is stored for a plurality of users. The content includes a plurality of content items and a plurality of folders arranged in a plurality of hierarchies. A plurality of root namespaces is established. Each root namespace is rooted to a root folder of an account. A first namespace rooted to a first folder selected from the plurality of folders is established. First permissions are maintained for the first namespace, granting access to a first set of users. A request to share a second folder is received. The second folder is a child of the first folder in a particular hierarchy. A second namespace rooted to the second folder is established. Second permissions are maintained for the second namespace, granting access to a second set of users.
