Abstract:
Embodiments are also provided for displaying an image capturing mode and a content viewing mode. In some embodiments, one or more live images may be received from an image capturing component on a mobile device. A user interface may display the live images on a touch-sensing display interface of the mobile device. A first gesture may also be detected with the touch-sensing display interface. In response to detecting the first gesture, at least a portion of a collection of content items may be displayed within a first region of the user interface, and/or the one or more live images may be displayed within a second region of the user interface.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for authenticating a user account with a content management system are disclosed. A synchronized content management system may receive an identifier via a first access platform. The identifier may be associated with a device. The content management system can generate a link based on the identifier and the device. The link may be then send to the device by using the identifier. When accessed by the device, the link may authenticate a user account associated with the device at a second access platform.

Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for forming share bars including collections of content items. In some embodiments, a user interface may be displayed on a display interface of a user device. The user interface may include a first region including a collection of content items and a second region. A first gesture may be detected with the display interface that selects a first content item from the displayed collection of content items. In response to detecting the first gesture, a first thumbnail of the first content item may be created and placed in the second region. A share option may be provided within the second region that may enable a user of the user device to share any content items that may have a corresponding thumbnail in the second region.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for authenticating a user account with a synchronized content management system are disclosed. A synchronized online content management system may receive a request from a client device to access content in the content management system via a web browser that is running on the client device. The system may identify that a client-side application for the content management system has been installed on the client device and that the client-side application is already logged into a user account with the content management system. The system can cause the web browser to open a local host connection to the client-side application such that the web browser may be able to obtain from the client application some user account identifying information for the user account. The system can then cause the web browser to log into the user account by using the user account identifying information.
Abstract:
Providing a user with an interactive user interface that may fully enable interactions regardless of connectivity status may be provided. In some embodiments, one or more content items may be selected by a user of the user devices and may be queued for upload to a content management system. The content items may be organized into one or more collections of content items with other content items already stored in a user account on the content management system, such as images having similar geo-temporal characteristics. A set of interactivity features may be available to the user for interacting with the queued content item. This may provide the user with the seamless feeling as if the content items have been uploaded to the content management system and the user may be interacting with the content items on the content management system, even if the upload has not been completed.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are provided for maintaining local virtual states pending server-side storage across multiple devices and users and intermittent network connections. In exemplary embodiments, content added by a user to his or her account locally on a user device may be displayed, and all interactivity therewith may be facilitated, as if the content had already been created on the content management system. In content management system applications that support shared virtual spaces, changes made by the user from his or her user device to the shared virtual space (including creation of a new shared virtual space) may be displayed locally as soon as the change has been made, not waiting for the information to be transmitted to the server or its state to be made consistent with that of the mobile device.
Abstract:
A testing system with methodology for background application control is described. In one embodiment, for example, a method for controlling a background application is provided that includes steps of: prior to or after a test application enters a background execution state, the test application sending a first message to a reflector application via an interprocess communication facility provided by an operating system executing the test application and the reflector application; in response to the reflector application receiving the first message, the reflector application sending a second message to the first application via the interprocess communication facility; wherein sending the second message causes the operating system to transition the test application from the background execution state to a foreground execution state.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present technology enable users to sign in to an account without a password. For example, when receiving a request to register a device with an account, a user can be prompted to enter their email address. In response, two tokens are generated. A first token is sent to the a client application on the device and the second token is sent to the user's email. The user can then only login to their account with the device if the device has both tokens. Thus, if someone intercepts the email, they will be unable to login from another device since they don't have the first token. If the client token and email token cannot be automatically joined on the same device, a web page showing a code can be displayed on a first device, which can be entered on the second device to finish login process.
