Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for initiating, monitoring, and performing data backups from remote devices using web-based applications. For example, the disclosed systems receive a backup request from a remote device running a web-based application that does not include backup functionality, where the backup request triggers a data backup for data stored locally on a different client device. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems can establish a connection between the remote web-based application and a desktop application installed locally on the device to be backed up, where the connection facilitates triggering and managing a data backup executed by the desktop application via the remote web-based application. In some cases, the disclosed systems determine whether data backups are synchronous, asynchronous, and/or for user accounts within a team, and the disclosed systems facilitate data backups accordingly.

Abstract: The present technology is a backup service that can provide a menu of collaboration options that can be selected within the backup service for implementation by a synchronization service. In such an embodiment, when a user selects a collaboration option from the menu of collaboration options in the backup service, the backup service can call the synchronization service to copy the backup object into the synchronization service and implement the selected collaboration option. This can provide a benefit of reducing the number of user interfaces that need to be displayed and interacted with in order to carry out the intent of the user to offer a copy of the backup object for collaboration. The present technology also provides improved user interfaces.

Abstract: The present technology addresses a need for a task service that can aggregate tasks assigned to a user on different services so that all tasks that the user needs to perform can be found in one location. The present technology can utilize credentials to a user account associated with a user of a service to automatically identify tasks that are relevant to the user and can create those tasks in a task service. The task service can maintain a link back to the source of the task so that the user can mark the task as complete in the task service, and the task service can automatically update the task in the service in which the task was created. The present technology can also provide integrations with some services to a user to create new tasks from services that are not task based, such as email.
