Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for content item purging are provided. A contact item purger, such as may be incorporated within a local client application of a content management system running on a user device, may leverage knowledge as to which items have been uploaded to the content management system, and how long such content items have been stored on the user device, to propose items for deletion from the user device so as to reclaim storage space. A contact item purger may run on one or more user devices, and may activate upon various triggering events, based on various conditions and parameters, with or without user interaction, thus maintaining available memory capacity at all times.

Abstract: Techniques for cross-application content item management. In one embodiment, for example, a method comprises detecting a touch gesture related to a representation of a content item displayed by a first application. And based at least in part on detecting the touch gesture, a different application performing a content management action on the content item. The content management action may encompass storing the content item in a content item collection, sharing the content item with a user account, uploading the content item to a server, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A content management system enriches contact records obtained from a client device using user records stored on the content management system. The content management system receives contact records from a client device authorized on a user account of the content management system. The content management system compares contact records with user profiles stored on the content management system. The content management system matches contact records with user profiles of user accounts with which at least one sharing event occurred between the user account and the user account on which the client device is authorized. The content management system identifies a matching user profile corresponding to the contact record. The content management system determines modification information for modifying the contact record based upon the matching user profile.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for organization and presentation of content. In some embodiments, a plurality of images and a plurality of similarity rules for image categorization are received. For each image in the plurality of images, that image and each remaining image from the plurality is compared by: applying each similarity rule to the image and a remaining image from the plurality to obtain a numeric result, and recording the numeric result for the pair of images in a numeric representation, the numeric representation embodying similarities. The numeric representation is used as a reference for clustering the plurality of images into clusters of similar images, and each image is stored with a marker denoting a cluster to which it has been assigned.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for detecting duplicate and near duplicate images. An exemplary method includes receiving an original image, preparing the image for fingerprinting, and calculating an image fingerprint, the fingerprint expressed as a sequence of numbers. The method further includes comparing the image fingerprint thus obtained with a set of previously stored fingerprints obtained from a set of previously stored images, and determining if the original image is either a duplicate or a near duplicate of an image in the set if the dissimilarity between the two fingerprints is less than a defined threshold T. Once a duplicate or near duplicate is detected, various defined actions may be taken, including culling the less desirable image or referring the redundancy to a user.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for using heuristics for selecting and saving content to a synced online content management system. In some embodiments, one or more content items and/or indices thereto may be received within a first application. For example, a user may receive a photograph within a text message application. In some embodiments, a first defined gesture may be detected by a user device and in response, a second application may open. In some embodiments, a second defined gesture may be detected, and in response a (a) store, (b) share, and/or (c) an assign to a collection, operation may be performed within the second application. Alternatively, these operations may be performed within the second application based on at least one predefined rule (without a second gesture required).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for content item purging functionality are provided. A contact item purger, such as may be incorporated within a local client application of a content management system, leverages its knowledge as to which items have been uploaded to the content management system, and how long content items have been stored on the user device, to propose items for local deletion and thus reclaiming storage on the user device. A contact item purger may run on one or more devices of a user associated with an account on a content management system upon various triggering events, and may run with or without user interaction, thus maintaining available user device memory capacity at all times.
