Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for managing shared content with a content management system. In some embodiments, a request is received for a history of content shares for an authenticated account, at least one content share is retrieved for the authenticated account, the at least one content share having at least one shared item and at least one recipient identifier, information on the at least one content share on a user interface is displayed, and a request is received to modify the at least one content share and updating the at least one content share in response to the request.
Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed for detecting duplicate and near duplicate images. An exemplary method includes receiving an original image, preparing the image for fingerprinting, and calculating an image fingerprint, the fingerprint expressed as a sequence of numbers. The method further includes comparing the image fingerprint thus obtained with a set of previously stored fingerprints obtained from a set of previously stored images, and determining if the original image is either a duplicate or a near duplicate of an image in the set if the dissimilarity between the two fingerprints is less than a defined threshold T. Once a duplicate or near duplicate is detected, various defined actions may be taken, including culling the less desirable image or referring the redundancy to a user.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for content item purging are provided. A contact item purger, such as may be incorporated within a local client application of a content management system running on a user device, may leverage knowledge as to which items have been uploaded to the content management system, and how long such content items have been stored on the user device, to propose items for deletion from the user device so as to reclaim storage space. A contact item purger may run on one or more user devices, and may activate upon various triggering events, based on various conditions and parameters, with or without user interaction, thus maintaining available memory capacity at all times.
Abstract:
A content management system enriches contact records obtained from a client device using user records stored on the content management system. The content management system receives contact records from a client device authorized on a user account of the content management system. The content management system compares contact records with user profiles stored on the content management system. The content management system matches contact records with user profiles of user accounts with which at least one sharing event occurred between the user account and the user account on which the client device is authorized. The content management system identifies a matching user profile corresponding to the contact record. The content management system determines modification information for modifying the contact record based upon the matching user profile.
Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for date and time handling. In some embodiments, a timestamp and a location of creation for a content item is received, a time zone offset is retrieved for the location, the timestamp is converted into a local date and time using the time zone offset, and the local date and time and the time zone offset are used to create a value for a temporal identifier, and the temporal identifier is stored for the content item.

Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for using heuristics for selecting and saving content to a synced online content management system. In some embodiments, one or more content items and/or indices thereto may be received within a first application. For example, a user may receive a photograph within a text message application. In some embodiments, a first defined gesture may be detected by a user device and in response, a second application may open. In some embodiments, a second defined gesture may be detected, and in response a (a) store, (b) share, and/or (c) an assign to a collection, operation may be performed within the second application. Alternatively, these operations may be performed within the second application based on at least one predefined rule (without a second gesture required).

Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for organization and presentation of content. In some embodiments, a plurality of images and a plurality of similarity rules for image categorization are received. For each image in the plurality of images, that image and each remaining image from the plurality is compared by: applying each similarity rule to the image and a remaining image from the plurality to obtain a numeric result, and recording the numeric result for the pair of images in a numeric representation, the numeric representation embodying similarities. The numeric representation is used as a reference for clustering the plurality of images into clusters of similar images, and each image is stored with a marker denoting a cluster to which it has been assigned.
Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for a dropsite. In some embodiments, information is received on a creation location and a date and time of creation of a content item, and a determination is made if (i) the date and time of creation is within a predefined span of time, and (ii) the creation location is within a predefined geographical area to permit association of the content item with a shared folder whose inclusion criteria match said date and time and creation location.
