Abstract: Systems and methods for seamless access, editing, creating of files in a web or mobile interface to a collaborative cloud platform (e.g., cloud-based file sharing, collaboration and/or storage service) are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a file accessed through the web or mobile interface is associated with an “Edit” button/action, or other similar feature. When selected, if an editor or other native application to edit or access the file is not installed, this action can automatically launch the installer and prompt the user to install the editor. If it is installed, this action can launch the native application on the user's computer.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating embeddable widgets capable of accessing contents in a cloud-based platform. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving a request identifying a target content in the cloud-based platform. The method further comprises automatically generating a plurality of software codes which correspond to a software widget that enables access to the target content. According to some embodiments, the software widget is to be embedded in a software product so as to enable a user of the software product to access the target content without navigating away from the software product. Among other advantages, embodiments disclosed herein provide easy integration of centralized contents to users and third-party web-service vendors, and reduce the effort necessary for system administrators in controlling data security and tracking different activities performed to the centralized content, thereby enabling more intuitive user experience without sacrificing data security.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for user discovery (e.g., corporate user discovery) and/or identification of recommended or suggested collaborators in a collaboration platform which may be a cloud-based platform. The disclosed technology enables a user to discover a network of users that they could be collaborating with but are not. This feature, can for example, identify the relevant users or the suggested users and depict the users in the user interface. The identification and selection of the suggested users/potential collaborators can be based on some criteria (e.g., email domain, when the account was created, etc.). These criteria can be set by system default, adjusted by individual users and/or configured/set by admins if a user belongs to a corporate account/enterprise account.

Abstract translation: 本公开的实施例包括用于在可以是基于云的平台的协作平台中用户发现（例如，公司用户发现）和/或识别推荐或建议的协作者的系统和方法。 所公开的技术使得用户能够发现他们可能正在协作但不是的用户的网络。 例如，该功能可以识别相关用户或建议的用户，并描述用户界面中的用户。 建议用户/潜在协作者的识别和选择可以基于一些标准（例如，电子邮件域，创建帐户时等）。 这些标准可以由系统默认设置，由个人用户调整和/或由管理员配置/设置，如果用户属于公司帐户/企业帐户。

Abstract: Enterprise administrators in a cloud-based environment including a cloud-based server and a repository can selectively impose permissions on items (e.g., files and folders) marked for synchronization (“sync items”). The sync items can be synchronized with the client devices of users by downloading the items along with the permission attributes from the cloud-based server. However, the permissions on those sync items means that any unpermitted changes to the local copies of the sync items do not get uploaded to the cloud-based server. A synchronization client on the client devices detects any changes made locally to the sync items that are not consistent with the permission attributes, and repairs those changes so that the sync items are restored to their most recent states. This ensures that any unauthorized changes made to sync items remain local and do not propagate by the synchronization process to other users.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for enhanced quick search features, low-barrier comenting/interactive features in a collaboration platform, which may be a cloud-based platform. The disclosed technology enhances the user experience (both web and mobile user experience) by providing the ease with which the manner in which content and users can be discovered and browsed. Additionally, enhanced social features surrounding content is also disclosed. The disclosed technology further enhances the user experience by providing the ability to ‘like’ a file as a quick, easy way users/collaborators can note approval, attention, or preference of a file/work item.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for a web or mobile interface enabling users and collaborators to simultaneously comment, edit, or edit content in real time or near real time managed by a cloud-based collaboration platform. In one embodiment, the data to be accessed concurrently is presented or depicted at the multiple physical devices to the collaborators for viewing and accessing the data in real time or near real time. Each of the collaborators is able to view, re-edit, or re-modify in a concurrent fashion, at the collaborator's physical device, edits or modifications made to the data in real time or near real time as a result of any of the other collaborators accessing the data at their respective physical devices. In some instances, additional collaborators are specifiable for the data created for concurrent real time access in addition to those originally associated with the folder.
