Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for creating shared virtual spaces (“rooms”). In some embodiments, a share request to share a content item from a sharer to at least one sharee may be received. In response, a first virtual space may be created on the sharer's user account and each of the at least one sharee's user accounts on the content management system. A first identifier may be assigned to the content item, where the first identifier associates the sharer and each sharee as a member of the first virtual space. The first shared virtual space may then be preserved in a second shared virtual space stored on the content management system.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates access to content. During operation, the system tracks a content item at an online content management system using an identifier for the content item. Next, the system uses the identifier to provide a link to the content item, wherein the link enables access to the content item from an electronic device independently of a location of the content item within the online content management system.
Abstract:
One or more embodiments of the present disclosure include a content navigation system that allows a user to search, browse, and otherwise experience a collection of digital content items. For example, the content navigation system can provide a graphical user interface including a scroll element. One or more embodiments of the scroll element can include various navigational functions that provide a user-friendly interface for browsing and experiencing a collection of digital content items. Furthermore, the content navigation system can provide methods and systems for a user to easily configure the way in which the digital content items are organized within the user interface, thereby customizing the user's browsing experience.
Abstract:
One or more embodiments of the present disclosure include a content management system that allows a user to easily activate a camera while viewing digital content. For example, a content management system can provide a graphical user interface that includes a scroll element that allows a user to navigate through digital content. In addition, a user can interact with the scroll element to activate a camera. For instance, a user can activate a camera by scrolling the scroll element to and/or beyond a particular position.

Abstract:
A system for determining a time that a file was created and associating an ID with the file based on the file creation time is disclosed. The system adjusts the creation time by a time zone offset. In the case of image files, the file creation time may be based on information associated with the image: (1) by the camera that took the picture (exchangeable image file data); (2) when the photo was last modified in memory (file modification time data); (3) based on the raw date and time the photo file was created (file date-time data); and (4) when the photo was imported onto a client device. The system may rename the file with this adjusted creation time to create a standardized name. As a result, the standardized name provides a filename nomenclature that is based on the actual or estimated time of when the file was created.

Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for a media player. In some embodiments, locally stored media player data is obtained from a first device on at least one of a device setting, a media player setting, and a media player state of a media player module of a web application, the data is stored in a data store of a content management system for a first account, and based on the media player data, locally stored data is selectively synchronized on a second device associated with the first account to provide a continued experience with media on the second device.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for a continuous photo view on a browser-type application are disclosed. The system can receive a request to display a set of images associated with a user account. The system can generate a web page based on a size of the content items, the web page having a respective placeholder for each of the content items in an area of the web page that is relative to a visible portion of the web page, wherein the web page can provide a continuous presentation of the content items on a device, and wherein the web page can be configured to dynamically load and unload content items based on a current position of the web page.
