    摘要: Content object operations over content objects of a content management system are prioritized to be performed immediately, or at a later time. The immediate scheduling of an operation is determined by policies, rules, and/or predictive model outcomes. The determination for later time scheduling is based on analysis of a history of events on content objects. If the content object operation is deemed to be at least potentially delayable to a later time, then a scheduling model is consulted to determine an urgency of performing the content object operation on the content object. The urgency value resulting from consulting the scheduling model is combined with then-current resource availability to determine a timeframe for performance of the content object operation on the content object relative to other entries in a continuously updated list of to-be-performed operations. The performance of the content object operation on the content object is initiated in due course.

    摘要: Methods, systems and computer program products for recommendation systems. Embodiments commence by gathering a set of pathnames that refer to content objects of a collaboration system. A tokenizer converts at least some of the pathnames into vectors. The vectors comprise hierarchical path components such as folder names or file names, which vectors are labeled with an indication as to whether or not the folder or file referred to in a particular vector had been clicked on by one or more users. Some portion of the labeled vectors are used to train a predictive model. Collaboration recommendations may be generated that pertain to security-related recommendations.

    摘要: Embodiments are directed to association of storage objects in a multi-tenant, cloud-based storage environment. More specifically, a first object can be made available in the file system of the environment and can be accessed, for example, by its file or object name. At some point thereafter, an auxiliary object can be provided that is related to the first object. For example, this auxiliary object can comprise metadata or other content associated with or related to the first object. According to one embodiment, this auxiliary object can be assigned an identifier that not only uniquely identifies the auxiliary object but also identifies, within the identifier itself, the relationship to the first object. This relational naming can be used to track the relationship between objects, e.g., to update the auxiliary object based on changes to the first object, but without a separate mapping of the objects.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and computer program products. A virtual canvas is presented in an active area of an online meeting facility that renders participant-specific online virtual canvas interactions raised by a respective plurality of users' devices. Users can see and hear each other's interactions during an virtual canvas session. Annotations include drawings, content object edits, voice annotations, etc. that correspond to a displayed portion of a content object of a content management system (CMS). Based on the interactions and/or inferences made based on those interactions, the virtual canvas system generates commands to be executed by the content management system. Characteristics of interactions between users can be enriched by drawing information from the content management system and using such information in combination with the interactions themselves. The CMS can recommend teams, and action items, and the CMS can provide hints to participants, so as to facilitate more effective engagement between the participants.

    摘要: Systems and methods for folder synchronization and offline synchronization via a mobile platform in a web-based collaboration environment are disclosed. One embodiment includes synchronizing user selected folders and/or sub-folders via the mobile platform, using portable devices including smart phones and tablets using any mobile operating system to allow offline access. Child or sub-folders of the selected folders and/or sub-folders are automatically detected and synchronized for offline access. Any change or new content detected on the client side or on the server side is also synchronized such that the selected folders and/or sub-folders on the client and server sides are up to date.

    摘要: Systems and methods for managing file operations over shared content in the presence of two or more heterogeneous file systems. A virtual file system provides data consistency pertaining to asynchronous interactions between the heterogeneous storage systems. Operations of the virtual file system include receiving a file system call from a first storage environment for performing one or more data operations at a second storage environment. After receiving the file system call, the virtual file system issues file system calls to the second storage environment and records a first set of metadata. To determine if and when the one or more data operations at the second storage environment have completed, the virtual file system accesses a second set of metadata from the second storage environment. The two sets of metadata are compared. If there are differences, then the virtual file system performs time delays until the two sets of metadata agree.
