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: Methods, systems and computer program products for content management and collaboration systems. Embodiments address handling remotely-stored preformatted previews of remotely stored content objects for display on a user device without having to store a local copy of the remotely stored content objects to the user device. A user operates a content object viewer that is provided as part of the operating system running on the user device. As provided, the content object viewer includes a graphical user interface for accessing files of the operating system. Using the graphical user interface capabilities of the content object viewer, the user selects a particular one of the remotely stored content objects. Upon such selection, the content object viewer displays a preview of the particular one of the remotely stored content objects without having to have a local copy of the particular one of the remotely stored content objects at the user device.
