    Abstract: Internet communications between a content management system that stores a plurality of content objects and a third-party system is established. A hierarchy at the third-party system is determined, and a file and folder content object hierarchy at the content management system is generated based on the determined hierarchy at the third-party system. Users of the content management system and users of the third-party system are reconciled by comparing attributes of users of the third-party system with attributes of users of the content management system. Permissions pertaining to user accessed to content objects at the content management system are reconciled with permissions of the third-party system. Reconciled access permissions are applied to content objects of the generated hierarchy at the content management system. Some of the access permissions that are applied to the content object hierarchy of the content management system are more restrictive than the permissions of the third-party system.

    Abstract: A user interface is configured to present a stream of activities that arise from operation of two or more heterogeneous applications that access shared content objects of a content management system. A first application of a first type among the heterogeneous applications interoperates with a second application of a second type. Application activity records that correspond to interactions by the second application over the shared content objects are stored. Additional interactions that are raised by the first application and that pertain to a common content object are also stored. When a user requests access to a content object of the content management system, recent application activity records are selected. Some of the selected activity records are filtered out based on permissions attributes corresponding to the content object and/or based on permissions attributes corresponding to the requesting user. An application activity stream is generated based on the selected application activity records.

    Abstract: A web conferencing system is hosted in a first computing environment and is Internet-connected with a content management system hosted in a second computing environment. Upon detection of an occurrence of a file or folder drag-and-drop event at the web conferencing system, the file or folder corresponding to the drag-and-drop event is made available to the content management system. A directory hierarchy of a file system of the content management system is generated on-the-fly. The content management system initiates operations to retrieve and store a copy of the file or folder into the director hierarchy. Access permissions corresponding to locations within the directory hierarchy where the copy of the file or folder is stored are established such that users of the web conferencing system who were not users of the content management system can access the copy of the file or folder that is stored in the content management system.
