    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating and maintaining an intelligent, web-based digital content clipboard for viewing and performing batch actions on copied content items. In particular, based on a client device request to copy a content item from a web-based folder, the disclosed systems can generate and add an item reference for the copied content item to a batch action clipboard. The disclosed systems can perform batch actions on multiple digital content items together with a single web-based batch action. The disclosed systems can also intelligently provide a clipboard element for display that is selectable to view item references representing content items copied to the batch action clipboard, along with a set of available batch actions for performing on one or more of the copied content items.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing projects in a content management system. For example, the content management system can create a project folder (e.g., shared folder) for managing data associated with a project. The project folder can be shared with content management system users (e.g., project members) who are contributors to the project. The content management system can store project data (e.g., content items, communications, comments, tasks, etc.) related to the project in the project folder. When the project folder is selected by a user, the content management system can generate a project folder view that presents the project data associated with the project folder and/or project in a convenient and easy to access graphical user interface. The content management system can aggregate project data from various content items associated with the project and present the project data in a single graphical user interface.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology addresses the need in the art for synchronizing a content library between a content management system and client devices. Each content item in a user's content library is stored on the content management system and a record of each change to the content library is recorded in a content journal. A client device transmits a synchronization request that a portion of the content journal representing unsynchronized changes be processed to update the content library on the client device. The synchronization request includes a content library identifier and a content journal number identifying the content entry in the content journal last processed by the client device. Synchronization commands are sent based on the content entries not processed by the client device. Updated synchronization data representing the processed content entries is sent to the client device after synchronization is completed.

    Abstract: An object management system (OMS) receives a plurality of objects to be stored. The OMS identifies a subset of objects associated with a same time period and a same namespace from the plurality of objects and generates a batch object comprising the subset of objects. The OMS issues a write request to store the batch object in an object storage system (OSS) and stores, for each object in the subset of objects, a data structure comprising an identifier of the batch object and a position of the object within the batch object. Upon receiving a read request for an object, the OMS determines, based on the data structure, whether the object is stored in the OSS and issues a read request to the OSS based on the identifier of the batch object and the position of the object within the batch, if the objects is stored in the OSS.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating content clusters from topic data and focus data, generating content collections from content clusters, storing and restoring desktop scene layouts, and storing and arranging video call scenes. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate content clusters based on topic data and focus data associated with content items within a content management system and/or accessed via the internet. The disclosed systems can also generate content collections for a user account of the content management system from the content clusters. In some embodiments, the content scene system can further store and restore desktop scene layouts for arranging application windows presenting content items. Further, the disclosed systems can store and arrange particular desktop scene layouts for video call scenes.

    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: Systems and methods for creating and accessing content items are provided. In some examples, a method can include receiving a user selection of an interface element located in a persistent user interface of an operating system desktop of a client device associated with a user account, identifying, based on a query to a meeting service, a meeting associated with the user account, displaying, in response to the user selection of the interface element, a set of user options for the meeting, the set of user options comprising an option to access a content item for the meeting, receiving a user selection of the option to access the content item for the meeting, and accessing, in response to the user selection, the content item.
