Abstract:
To identify whether a content item is prohibited, a content management system can generate a content item fingerprint for the content item and then compare the generated content item fingerprint to a blacklist of content item fingerprints for prohibited content items. If the generated content item fingerprint matches any of the content item fingerprints included in the blacklist, the content management system can determine that the content item is prohibited. The content management system can deny requests to share prohibited content items and/or requests to assign prohibited content items to a user account on the content management system. The content management system can generate the content item fingerprint using the content item as input in a fingerprinting algorithm that was used to generate the content item fingerprints on the blacklist.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for rotating security keys for an online synchronized content management system client. A client having a first security key as an active security key may send a request to a server for a new security key as a replacement for the first security key. The server may receive the request and generate a candidate security key. The server can issue the candidate security key to the client device. After receiving the candidate security key, the client may send a key receipt confirmation message to the server. In response to the confirmation message, the server may mark the candidate key as the new security key for the client and discard the client's old security key. The server may send an acknowledgment message to the client device. In response, the client may also mark the candidate key as its new active key.

Abstract:
Various embodiments restrict or enable access to content items of an account based on login information or content request properties. For example, a synchronized online content management system can receive a request including one or more content request properties from a client device to access a user account. Access rules for the user account can be obtained and applied based on the content request properties to generate an access status. In one instance, the client device is provided with full account access if the access status indicates that the client device is an authorized device. In another instance, if the client device is an unauthorized device, at least one aspect of access to the user account is restricted.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for securely broadcasting shared folders from one client device to other client devices and synchronizing the shared folders over a local area network. A first client device, associated with a content management system, generates a secure identifier for a shared folder, using a shared secret key that is associated with the shared folder. The first client device announces the secure identifier over a local area network to other client devices on the local area network including a second client device. The first client device receives a synchronization request for the shared folder from the second client device. After authenticating, using the shared secret key, that the second client device has authorization to access the shared folder, the first client device synchronizes the shared folder with the second client device over the local area network.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for identifying accounts having shared credentials. In some implementations, a content management system can collect user login context data when a user logs in to or accesses a user account of the content management system. For example, the content management system can collect client device data, client application data, internet protocol (IP) address data, and/or other data from the user's device when the user logs in to the user account. The content management system can analyze the login context data to determine patterns that indicate that the user account login credentials are being shared among multiple users.
