Abstract: A light installer can be utilized to improve the installation process of a client-side application. A light installer can be an installer containing only the necessary information to initiate the installation process, such as information necessary for prompting the user for required data and authorizations, communicating with the content management system, downloading additional resources, and installing the client-side application. The light installer can minimize user interaction time by obtaining all necessary user authorizations early in the installation process, thereby enabling the light installer to install all components of the client-side application without further authorization from the user. Further, the light installer can be tagged with data identifying a user account associated with the client device that can be used for reporting, pre-populating data during the installation process, customizing the installation process, pre-authorizing the client-side application, etc.

Abstract: Some systems allow a user to access content using both a native client application and a web interface. In these systems, the client application authorized to access a user account can assist with automatically logging a user into the web interface through the use of authentication tokens. In response to an authentication request, the client application can select a token and split it into multiple parts. One piece can be embedded in a URL and a second piece can be stored in a file. The file can also contain browser executable instructions that when executed combine the two pieces to re-create the token and send the re-created token to a server to authenticate the user. The client application can forward the URL to the browser, which can direct the browser to the file. The browser can execute the instructions thereby authenticating the user.

Abstract translation: 可以使用轻型安装程序来改进客户端应用程序的安装过程。 轻型安装程序可以是仅包含必要信息以启动安装过程的安装程序，例如提示用户所需数据和授权所需的信息，与内容管理系统通信，下载附加资源以及安装客户端应用程序 。 轻型安装人员可以通过在安装过程的早期获得所有必要的用户授权来最大程度地减少用户交互时间，从而使轻型安装人员无需用户的进一步授权即可安装客户端应用程序的所有组件。 此外，光安装者可以用标识与客户端设备相关联的用户帐户的数据标记，该客户端设备可以用于报告，在安装过程中预填充数据，定制安装过程，预授权客户端应用程序等 。

Abstract: A content item on a content management system can be shared using a generated sharing link. The sharing link can be a custom network address, such as a uniform resource locator (URL), which allows the content item to be accessed without authentication. The sharing index and a content path of the content items can be listed in a sharing index used to identify the content upon a request initiated by the sharing link. The content management system can generate a content link to a content item upon receiving a sharing input from a user indicating the user wants to share a content item. Alternatively, in some embodiments, sharing links can be pre-generated by the content management system and stored on the client device. The sharing link can stored directly to a data buffer on the client device, such as a clipboard, where it can be accessed by the user.
