    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for re-associating content items of a user account of a content management system on a computing device relinked to the content management system. The systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media can include the content management system receiving a request to relink the computing device with a user account of the content management system. The systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media can also include determining a local content item of the client device corresponds to at least one revision of a plurality of revisions of a content item of the user account, wherein the content item is currently removed from the user account. Finally, the systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media can cause the client device to delete the local content item.

    Abstract: A client application of a content management system provides instructions for synchronizing content items and placeholder items using a local file journal and updated file journal. The client application compares entries in the updated file journal to entries in the local file journal to determine modifications to make to content items or placeholder items stored in a shared content storage directory on the client device. Based on the result of the comparison, the client application replaces placeholder items with content items or replaces content items with placeholder items.

    Abstract: A content management system synchronizes content items across client computing systems connected by a network. If a storage allocation for shared content items on a client device is exceeded by the request to add or edit a content item such that it is enlarged, a client application or the host of content management system selects content items to remove from residence on the client device but keep remotely on content management system. Upon removal of the selected content items, the client application creates shadow items, representing the content item but only containing the metadata of the content item. This creates sufficient space while maintaining user access to all synchronized shared content items. Entries in a file journal may be used to track and manage whether a stored item is a content item or a shadow item.
