    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable storage media, and systems that provide secure password sharing across a plurality of users and client devices via a shared folder. For example, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed system retrieves a public key set including public encryption keys for client devices having access to the shared folder. The disclosed system provides the public key set to a client device requesting to share the shared folder. The disclosed system receives an encrypted payload for the shared folder and a shared encryption key that is utilized to encrypt the payload and is encrypted in the shared folder utilizing the public key set. The disclosed system also detects key rotation events and notifies one or more client devices to generate a modified shared encryption key and re-encrypt the payload for storage within the shared folder.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology addresses the need in the art for a content management system that can be highly flexible to the needs of its subjects. The present technology permits any object to be shared by providing a robust and flexible access control list mechanism. The present technology utilizes a data structure that is highly efficient that both minimizes the amount of information that needs to be written into any database, but also allows for fast reads and writes of information from authoritative tables that are a source of truth for the content management system, while allowing for maintenance of indexes containing more refined data that allow for efficient retrieval of certain information that would normally need to be calculated when it is needed.

    Abstract: The present technology provides an improved search interface that provides suggested search terms in a variety of categories. The suggested search terms are first presented in an “empty search state” i.e., before the user has entered any search terms. And the suggested search terms are repeatedly refined as the user provides inputs into the search interface until a number of search results are few enough that the interface provides search results. The present technology also provides improved search suggestions. In particular, the present technology utilizes predictive algorithms including machine learning algorithms to intelligently provide suggested search terms in the variety of categories.

    Abstract: The present technology pertains to remotely initiating a capture request. According to at least one example, the present technology includes sending the request for a media capture to a recipient device of a recipient user. The request for the media capture can be configured by the requesting user so that options are chosen for the recipient. The recipient user merely needs to click on a link to cause a web browser to initiate the screen capture. In some cases, the recipient user may need to accept some prompts from their computing device to give the browser permission to perform the capture.

    Abstract: A content management system synchronizes content items across client computing systems connected by a network. Each client device has a storage allocation for synchronized shared content items. If the 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, or open a large content item remote to the client device, 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 for the initial request to be completed while maintaining user access to all synchronized shared content items.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating and providing a collaborative content management interface for a group of users. For example, the systems described herein can detect user input to add a header within the collaborative content management interface. The systems can cause a file management system to generate a subfolder that corresponds with the new header in the collaborative content management interface. Conversely, the systems can analyze a file database maintained by a file management system and, in response to user input to initiate a collaborative content management system, generate a collaborative content management interface with graphical elements to represent files and headers to represent subfolders.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating and suggesting content collections for user accounts of a content management system using combinations of content-based features such as textual signals and visual signals. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems select a seed content item from among a plurality of content items associated with a user account within a content management system. From the seed content item, the disclosed systems can determine one or more germane topics and can cluster additional content items in relation to the germane topic(s). In addition, the disclosed systems can select one or more content items from a content cluster to provide as a suggested content collection.
