Abstract:
A method for saving a file stored on a third-party system directly to a cloud storage system includes providing a third-party system with an embeddable user interface for saving a plurality of files stored on the third-party system to a server hosting the cloud storage system. The method further includes receiving at the server a save request from a user on a client computer using the embeddable user interface to select the first file to be stored on the server, where the save request comprises information identifying a first file in the plurality of files. The method further includes authenticating the save request, downloading the first file from the third-party system directly to the server using the information identifying the first file, and saving the first file on the server.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for multi-tiered registration of file formats for applications. A processor receives a registration request from a developer of an application to register an application with a list of primary formats and a list of secondary formats. The processor associates the list of primary formats and the list of secondary formats with the application, and the processor receives an open request from a user to open a file having a file format. The application is determined to be associated with a primary format corresponding to the file format, and the application is selected to open the file.

Abstract:
A cloud computing system identifies when to recommend applications to a user and what recommendations to make. When the user makes a request related to the applications associated with the user, the cloud computing system identifies the subject of the request. The cloud computing system identifies criteria for recommending applications based on the subject, scores applications available to the user based on the identified criteria, and filters applications based on their scores to recommend applications to the user.
Abstract:
A method for storing third-party application data to cloud storage is described herein. The method includes determining to upload data associated with a third-party application stored on a client device to a cloud storage server. The data associated with the third-party application includes both binary data and metadata. The method further includes storing the binary data of the third-party application at a first cloud storage location. The first cloud storage location has a storage address and the metadata is updated to include the storage address. The method includes storing the updated metadata to a second cloud storage location different from the first cloud storage location.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for notifying a user of a change to a file stored in a cloud-based file-storage system. A first indication of a first change to the file by a first user is received from a remote server, where the file is associated with a second user and is stored by the remote server. Subscription preferences of the second user are received. A notification indicating the first change to the file is displayed on a mobile device associated with the second user if a category of the notification is allowed by the subscription preferences. The notification includes a graphical preview of the file, an identifier of the file, and an identity of the first user.
Abstract:
A cloud storage system provides remote access to a file associated with the cloud storage system. In response to a request to access the file, the cloud storage system identifies applications available to the request generator and capable of accessing the file, which may include both online web-based applications and applications installed on a device with which the user is accessing the file. The cloud storage system determines an application type of an identified application, and provides file access to the identified application based on the application type.
Abstract:
Techniques are shown for enabling a network system to index data stored on a third-party server without having to access the raw data on the third-party server. Metadata consisting of one or more of indexable text or indexable html or some combination of indexable text and indexable html is associated with the data stored on a third-party server. An indexing utility processes the metadata at the network system from the third-party server and arranges the metadata on the network system in a manner that is searchable by searching functionality of the network system.
