    Abstract: Nested namespaces for selective content sharing. In one embodiment, for example, a computer-implemented method includes the steps of: receiving a request to share a content item with a first set of user accounts held with a content management system; determining a first namespace to which the content item belongs; based on detecting that a second set of user accounts allowed to access the first namespace is different from the first set of user accounts, creating a second namespace nested in the first namespace; associating the first set of user accounts with the second namespace; and based on the first set of user accounts being associated with the second namespace, allowing the first set of user accounts to access content items, including the content item, belonging to the second namespace.

    Abstract: A synchronization protocol for multi-premises hosting of digital content items. In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a first commit request including a first set of one or more identifiers of one or more first content item blocks. The one or more first content item blocks make up a content item stored at a computing device. Further, the method includes, based at least in part on the first commit request, determining a second set of one or more identifiers that includes one or more identifiers of the first set of one or more identifiers not yet stored at a content item block server. The method also includes sending, to the computing device, the second set of one or more identifiers, and receiving a second commit request including the first set of one or more identifiers of the one or more first content item blocks, and an identifier of the content item block server. In this embodiment, the method then includes determining that no content item block from the one or more first content item blocks is missing at the content item block server, and committing the content item to the content item block server.
