Abstract: A user of a content management system can store one or more content items at the user's account with the system. In some instances, the system can generate and present a preview of a content item of interest (e.g., a content item selected by the user). In addition to the preview of the content item, the system can generate and present a web address or other machine-readable code referring to (or otherwise associated with) the preview of the content item. Various embodiments of the present disclosure can enableh the web address or other machine-readable code to be sharable and to provide access to the content item (or a copy thereof). For example, the user who is previewing the content item can share the web address of the preview with one or more other users. The one or more users can then access the content item via the web address.

Abstract: A content preview of a content item stored in an online storage system can be viewed on a client device without the content item itself being downloaded to the client device and without the use of software associated with the content item being installed on the client device. Furthermore, data storage and processing requirements can be minimized by creating and storing only one content preview for each unique content item. The content item can be identified by using the content item as a hash key in a hashing algorithm. The resulting unique identifier can be used to search a preview index that lists all created content previews and their location. A content preview is only created if one does not exist. The unique identifier can be used to locate the content preview and return it in response to a preview request by a client device.

Abstract translation: 内容管理系统的用户可以将用户的帐户中的一个或多个内容项目存储在系统中。 在一些情况下，系统可以生成并呈现感兴趣的内容项目（例如，由用户选择的内容项目）的预览。 除了内容项目的预览之外，系统可以生成并呈现涉及内容项目的预览的（或以其他方式与之相关联）的网址或其他机器可读代码。 本公开的各种实施例可以使得网址或其他机器可读代码是可共享的并且提供对内容项（或其副本）的访问。 例如，正在预览内容项目的用户可以与一个或多个其他用户共享预览的网址。 一个或多个用户然后可以通过网址访问内容项。
