摘要： Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods of conflict resolution, retry condition management and/or handling of problem files in the synchronization architecture of the cloud-based platform. One embodiment of the disclosed technology detects conflicts between incompatible changes made on opposite file systems based on file system sync results when executing a sync event on the file system. In one embodiment, the disclosed technology applies self-healing strategies when unexpected failures occur. For example, if a synchronization action fails repeatedly, an external action (e.g., from user, file system, etc.) can return the system back to a consistent state again.

摘要： Embodiments in the present disclosure include systems and methods related to a synchronization client of a cloud-based collaboration platform that runs on a user device for synchronizing folders and files between a location on the cloud-based collaboration platform and a location on the user device. The synchronization client informs a user of the status of synchronization processes and allows a user to choose various options depending on the informed status.

摘要： Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods to facilitate top down delete or un-synchronization on delete of a synchronization client to a cloud-based platform. The disclosed technology innovates the mechanism the synchronization client processes local deletes so that instead of synchronizing the delete of each individual item across to the cloud-based platform, it can accumulate the individual item deletes into a top-level folder delete and that top-level folder delete can be what is communicated across to the cloud-based platform. Embodiments of the present disclosure also include systems and methods for depicting item synchronization between a local and cloud based platform/service (e.g. the Box service). In some embodiments the system can identify items that cannot be synchronized between the local and cloud based platform/service (e.g., cloud based collaboration or storage platform/service). The system can further indicate reasons for the inability to synchronize and can offer corrective action.

摘要翻译： 本公开的实施例包括在将同步客户端删除到基于云的平台时便于自顶向下删除或取消同步的系统和方法。 所公开的技术创新同步客户端处理本地删除的机制，使得不是将每个单独项目的删除同步到基于云的平台，它可以将单个项目删除累积到顶级文件夹删除中，并且顶层 文件夹删除可以与基于云的平台进行通信。 本公开的实施例还包括用于描绘基于本地和基于云的平台/服务（例如，Box服务）之间的项目同步的系统和方法。 在一些实施例中，系统可以识别在本地和基于云的平台/服务（例如，基于云的协作或存储平台/服务）之间不能同步的项目。 系统可以进一步指出无法同步的原因，并可提供纠正措施。

摘要： Techniques are disclosed for enabling synchronization of items (e.g., folders or files) in a cloud-based environment. In one embodiment, a method comprises, upon receiving a request from a collaborator to synchronize an item stored in the workspace, verifying if the collaborator has permission for downloading the item. The method further comprises, if the collaborator has permission for downloading the item, sending the item to the collaborator. The method further comprises synchronizing the item by automatically pushing an updated version of the item unilaterally from the cloud-based environment to the collaborator regardless of whether the collaborator has performed any modification to the sent item. Among other advantages, embodiments disclosed herein provide capabilities to synchronize items in cloud-based platforms, especially where items are often opened/edited among the collaborators.

摘要： Systems and methods to automatically upgrade, or update a synchronization client to a cloud-based platform are provided. The automatic upgrading can be provided to a personal or an enterprise-level synchronization client. The synchronization client is implemented in a manner that is silent, secure and fault tolerant. In one embodiment, the disclosed technology includes an executable process to download the update, verify the contents, and apply the update. The contents can be verified by checking the certificate on any binary. The systems and methods further include identification and handling of items to be ignored by the synchronization client for synchronization with a cloud-based platform. In some embodiments, files and folders which typically should not be synchronized are identified and removed from the synchronization process in an effective manner.

摘要： Techniques are disclosed for enabling synchronization of items (e.g., folders or files) with read-only permissions in a cloud-based environment. In one embodiment, a method comprises, upon receiving a request from a collaborator to synchronize an item stored in the workspace, determining whether the item is marked as read-only and verifying if the collaborator has permission for downloading the item. The method further comprises, if the item is marked as read-only and if the collaborator has permission for downloading the item, sending the item to the collaborator. The method further comprises synchronizing the item by automatically pushing an updated version of the item unilaterally from the cloud-based environment to the collaborator regardless of whether the collaborator has performed any modification to the sent item. Among other advantages, embodiments disclosed herein provide capabilities to synchronize read-only files/folder in cloud-based platforms, especially where items are often opened/edited among the collaborators.

摘要翻译： 公开了用于在基于云的环境中使具有只读权限的项目（例如，文件夹或文件）同步的技术。 在一个实施例中，一种方法包括：在接收到来自协作者的同步存储在所述工作空间中的项目的请求时，确定所述项目是否被标记为只读，并验证所述协作者是否具有用于下载所述项目的权限。 该方法还包括如果该项目被标记为只读，并且如果协作者具有下载该项目的权限，则将该项目发送给协作者。 该方法还包括通过将项目的更新版本从基于云的环境单独地自动地推送到协作者来同步该项目，而不管协作者是否对所发送的项目进行任何修改。 除了其他优点之外，本文公开的实施例提供了在基于云的平台中同步只读文件/文件夹的能力，特别是在协作者之间经常打开/编辑项目的位置。

摘要： 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.
