    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.

    Abstract: A message management service can enable a client to search and retrieve of messages from one or more messaging services. The message management service can stage delivery of results to the client to reduce response time for identification of messages satisfying a query. Initially, the message management service can send information descriptive of results, which the client can display. The message management service can send subsequent responses including supplemental information associated with a result and/or actual messages.

    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: A message management service allows a user to access and manage messages from various message services. The user can access the message management service using a message management client application executing on a client device and can draft messages using the message management client application and send the messages through the different message services. The message management service can add information to messages sent using the message management client application that can be used to identify and organize the messages. A secure sent-message identifier can be added to messages sent by the message management service to reliably indicate that the messages were sent by the message management service.

    Abstract: Described embodiments enable device users sharing content items via a content management system to view and modify content items within native applications on their client devices. In various embodiments, a client application detects a save operation on a content item and prompts a user to provide a comment based on changes to the content item. User comments and metadata are provided to a content management system to create a historical log that provides a comprehensive summary of user interactions with a content item, including comments regarding content item changes, version information , and timestamps. The content management system provides the comments and other log contents to client applications associated with other users sharing the content item. The client applications use the comments and log information to provide notitfications to the users regarding content item changes and comments by sharing users.

    Abstract: An online photo management service that stores a collection of photos belonging to a user can send re-engagement messages to the user that can include photos automatically selected from the collection. The selection can be based on a scoring algorithm that rates the photos according to a set of attributes and computes a score based on the attributes and a set of weights. Based on user responses to re-engagement messages, the weights can be tuned to more reliably select photos likely to result in user re-engagement with the stored collection of photos.
