    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method of sharing files between a link sharer and a link recipient over a network. A folder sharing link is generated in response to a request by a link sharer, where the link provides a link recipient the ability to modify the contents of the folder. In response to receiving an indication that the generated link has been activated by a link recipient, the system either automatically grants modification rights to the folder or requests manual approval from the link sharer to grant modification rights to the link recipient. Once modification rights have been granted, the system adds the shared folder to the link recipient's account within the context of a document management system.

    Abstract: A consistency verification system that verifies data consistency in a content item management system. The system maintains a plurality of verifiers for checking data consistency, each verifier comprising instructions for verifying consistency for a type of requests. The system may verify the original request by selecting a verifier from the plurality of verifiers based on a type of the original request. Using the selected verifier, the consistency verification system may send verification requests to the content item management system at a second timestamp that is a period of time after the original timestamp. The system may determine whether the second response is consistent with the first response. If the responses are not consistent, the system may output information describing data inconsistency. If the responses are consistent, the system may output results and perform further verifications to help ensure data accuracy.

    Abstract: The present technology pertains to a link service that can create, maintain, and service links to objects on behalf of a content management system or other services. The link service can share administration of links with other services when desired or can even allow other services to issue the link and manage the object that is the subject of the link while providing other functions to support the link. Additionally, link service can interface with a file system that can support links as actors in the file system, whereby greater control and flexibility in supporting links is provided. Link service can also accommodate servicing and management of links issued by legacy services, where the legacy services have unique link logic that should still be utilized to maintain a consistent user experience.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for identifying and recommending team members for target users from a content management system utilizing a machine learning approach. In particular, the disclosed systems can generate a set of candidate team members from among users of the content management system based on various factors such as access to a common digital content item. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems further determine recommended team members from among the set of candidate team members. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a machine learning approach to generate or predict recommended team members based on particular features extracted or determined for, or with respect to, the various candidate team members. In certain implementations, the disclosed systems further provide a recommended-team-member notification to notify a target user of a recommended team member.
