Abstract: A server in a cloud-based environment interfaces with storage devices that store shared content. A user retrieves a document editing application from the server. The document editing application comprises a set of native operating system application code, a web content viewer, and a native operating system interface, which are configured to facilitate a transfer of one or more objects between the native operating system application code and the web content viewer. In response to a user upload request, the server generates an object placeholder in an editable document. Using the native operating system application code, objects can be selected for incorporation into the editable document. Shared access to the editable document and shared access to uploaded objects are provided by the server by posting links to locations in the storage devices. The document editing application replaces the object placeholder with a link to the object as stored by the server.

Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting collaboration activity to a particular user are disclosed. A method embodiment commences by recording event records that codify one or more event attributes corresponding to one or more content object access events. The content object access events are associated with two or more users that interact with the content objects. At a later moment in time, a subset of event records is selected, the selection being based at least in part on timestamps of the content object access events. A display order to apply to the selected subset of event records is determined, the order being based at least in part on timestamps of collaboration events arising from the users. Event messages to present in a user interface are generated, and the event messages are then displayed in the user interface in accordance with the display order.

Abstract: Methods and systems for online collaboration. A method embodiment facilitates collaborative editing of a cloud-based shared document using a browser-enabled platform native application. A user launches a platform native application and establishes a non-browser connection between the platform native application and a remote cloud-based shared file facility. The non-browser connection operates independently from any browser connections even though the platform native application includes a document editor web app within the embedded browser. A first user retrieves a first user copy of the cloud-based shared document, modifies the document, and shares the modified document so as to be accessible by other collaborating users.

Abstract: Systems and methods for embedded content object collaboration. A server of a cloud-based content management system hosts an access point to a set of executable code. The executable code is configured to facilitate interaction with a user. The user initiates operations that are performed either at the cloud-based content management system or at the at least one user device, or both. The operations include (1) user interactions with a shared content object, (2) user selection of at least one embedded content object within the shared content object, (3) editing the embedded content object at the at least one user device, (4) replicating one or more changes performed on the embedded content object to a remotely-stored instance of the embedded content object, and (5) downloading at least a portion of the updated, remotely-stored instance of the embedded content object to the user device.

Abstract: Disclosed is an approach for implementing an editing tool that can effectively leverage the “contentEditable” feature, while reliably being able to work with structured objects within a document. The approach is particularly useful to implement tools that allow for collaboration with respect to the structured objects.

The collaborating user modifications are applied to the first user copy before the first collaborating user reopens the first user copy of the cloud-based shared document.
