Abstract: Systems for managing personalized access to shared online objects. A user accesses a server in a cloud-based environment, wherein the server is interfaced with storage devices that store one or more content objects. The server receives communications packets comprising at least one session attribute, wherein receiving the one or more communications packets is responsive, either directly or indirectly, to an act of the user to invoke a new content access session. The session attribute is used to generate personalized workspace properties that are based on explicitly-provided information or based on inferences that pertain to the invoked content access session. Access to content objects is personalized using explicit or inferred workspace session properties. Personalization includes any aspects of branding preferences, working group colleagues, roles, privileges, friends, etc. Personalization can be based on personalized workspace properties that are inferred based on rules or combinations of data.

Abstract: Disclosed is an approach to incorporate geographical access control features for a cloud-based storage platform. This allows, for example, enterprise administrators to define geographical areas (geofences) with arbitrary precision within which content access can be applied to items of data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and mechanism to implement a communication channel between a web application and a locally running application on a computing system. A local communications server is employed to pass messages between the web application and a local application using a local comm server. The local comm server communicates with the local application over a named pipe that is dedicated to a specific web session and/or application.

Abstract: Techniques for monitoring local and/or remote file systems by a synchronization component (e.g., client/server) of a cloud-based platform are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of building synchronization events by a synchronization component (e.g., a synchronization server/client) includes obtaining a set of items that have been changed and their new states and retrieving last known states of the set of items that are stored in a reference snapshot inside a filesystem scanner. The method further includes generating differences between the new states and the last known states of the set of items as item changes and utilizing information provided by the item changes to translate the item changes into synchronization events for execution on the opposing file system. A method of handling failed synchronization events by a synchronization component of the cloud-based platform by collapsing a subsequent event with the failed synchronization event is also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating remote key management services in a collaborative cloud-based environment. In one embodiment, the remote key management architecture and techniques described herein provide for local key encryption and automatic generation of a reason code associated with content access. The reason code is used by a remote client device (e.g., an enterprise client) to control a second (remote) layer of key encryption. The remote client device provides client-side control and configurability of the second layer of key encryption.

Abstract: A non-SDK based scalable technology for integrating multiple mobile device management (MDM) service providers into a content provider platform (or server) is described herein. More specifically, the technology described herein facilitates enterprise mobility management through verification of a managed application associated with an enterprise via the content provider platform. In some embodiments, the content provider platform comprises a cloud-based collaboration and/or storage environment (“cloud-based platform server”) that prevents an unmanaged application from gaining access to the cloud-based collaboration and/or storage server.

Abstract: Systems for managing content in a cloud-based service platform. A server in a cloud-based environment is interfaced with storage devices that hold one or more stored objects accessible by two or more users. The stored objects comprise folders and files as well as other objects such as workflow objects that are associated with the folders or the files. The workflow objects comprise workflow metadata that describes a workflow as a set of workflow tasks to be carried out in a progression. Processing of a workflow task and/or carrying out a portion of the progression includes modification of shared content objects. The processing or modification events are detected through workflow events, which in turn cause one or more workflow responses to be generated. Workflow responses comprise updates to the workflow metadata to record progression through the workflow and/or workflow responses comprise updates to any one or more of the stored objects.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for reducing database workload in implementing selective subfolder synchronization in a cloud-based environment. In one embodiment, a method comprises, in response to a selection, from a user, of a first synchronization state of a first folder in the workspace, synchronizing content of the first folder in the workspace with a corresponding folder on devices of a user (and collaborators) based on the first synchronization state. The workspace is shared among the user and one or more collaborators of the user. In some embodiments, the method further comprises determining the first synchronization state of the first folder based on synchronization states of one or more folders, other than the first folder, that are related to the first folder. The entries can be configured to identify hierarchical relationships between the one or more folders and the first folder on a per-user basis.

Abstract: One or more servers are deployed in a cloud-based environment such that the cloud-based servers are configured to interface with one or more object processing target sites. In response to an object processing command, various combinations of feasible activities to perform at feasible target sites (e.g., object processing sites) are considered so as to generate object processing scenarios capable of executing object processing commands while observing constraints that may derive from the nature of, and/or attributes pertaining to the object processing sites. A scenario including a determination of one or more target sites is selected from the considered object processing scenarios. The selected one or more target sites are used to activate the object processing commands (e.g., for computation and/or for storage activities). A target site may be a country or state or other jurisdiction that inures benefits (e.g., tax benefits) and/or limitations (e.g., import/export limitations) pertaining to specific activities.
