Abstract: Content items queued for synchronization between a client device and a content management system can be automatically prioritized to improve the sharing process. That is, the content items can be prioritized based on whether a share link has been created to the content item. A share link can enable a user to access the shared content item from a content management system. Content items that have been shared using a share link can be given higher priority to be synchronized prior to content items that have not been shared. The queued content items can be synchronized in the synchronization order resulting from the prioritization. Further, multiple shared content items queued for synchronization can be sub-prioritized based on one or more sub-prioritization criteria.

Abstract: A method, system, and manufacture for securely broadcasting shared folders from one client device to other client devices and synchronizing the shared folders over a local area network. A first client device, associated with a content management system, generates a secure identifier for a shared folder, using a shared secret key that is associated with the shared folder. The first client device announces the secure identifier over a local area network to other client devices on the local area network including a second client device. The first client device receives a synchronization request for the shared folder from the second client device. After authenticating, using the shared secret key, that the second client device has authorization to access the shared folder, the first client device synchronizes the shared folder with the second client device over the local area network.

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.

Abstract: The disclosed technology generates unique identifiers for content items in a multi-user network-based content management system. The generated identifiers satisfy at least the properties of, (1) the GUID is unique on the local client device; (2) the GUID is preserved across reboots, moves, renames, and content item modifications; (3) the GUID is not preserved when the content item is copied; and (4) the GUID is not reused after a content item is deleted. The unique identifiers allow the content management system to model each user account as a collection of content item objects and globally unique identifiers instead of as a directory-based hierarchy of content items.

Abstract translation: 所公开的技术为基于多用户基于网络的内容管理系统中的内容项生成唯一的标识符。 生成的标识符至少满足以下特性：（1）GUID在本地客户端设备上是唯一的; （2）GUID在重新启动，移动，重命名和内容项修改之间保留; （3）复制内容项时GUID不保存; 和（4）删除内容项后GUID不被重用。 唯一标识符允许内容管理系统将每个用户帐户建模为内容项对象和全局唯一标识符的集合，而不是内容项目的基于目录的层次结构。
