Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for predicting and prefetching relevant thumbnails from remote servers to client devices based on a dynamic determination of file display criteria. For example, a thumbnail prefetching system utilizes previous thumbnail requests to predict a file directory sort order and determine thumbnails the operating system at the client device will next request. The thumbnail prefetching system can then prefetch the thumbnails prior to the operating system at the client device making thumbnail requests for the files. Thus, when the operating system does request thumbnails for the pertinent files, the thumbnail prefetching system can provide the thumbnails efficiently and quickly while leaving thumbnails for other (unrequested) files stored at the remote server (and not downloaded to the client device).

Abstract: The present technology pertains to a organization directory hosted by a synchronized content management system. The corporate directory can provide access to user accounts for all members of the organization to all content items in the organization directory on the respective file systems of the members' client devices. Members can reach any content item at the same path as other members relative to the organization directory root on their respective client device. In some embodiments novel access permissions are granted to maintain path consistency.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating shared virtual spaces using a client device. For example, the disclosed systems receive a request from a user to share one or more digital content items with other users via a shared virtual space. The disclosed systems queue a request to send data to a content management system to create the shared virtual space. In some instances, the disclosed systems can determine that a connection between a user's client device and the content management system is below a threshold connectivity, and then simulate an online experience for the user despite the poor connection.

Abstract: A user device has a processing module and a UI module. The processing module may have a permanent connection to the UI module, and an intermittent connection to a content management system over a data network. User requested actions are executed within the UI module. For each such action, a parallel request is sent to the content management system when network connectivity allows. Results of the user requested actions are presented within the UI module as if they had been implemented on the content management system. The user may thus interact with content as if all user requested actions have occurred substantially simultaneously with the request. When network connectivity allows, confirmation is received in the processing module from the content management system that the actions have been implemented, and the state of the user requested actions in the UI module is matched with that on the content management system.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating shared virtual spaces (“rooms”). A room may be created when a user first shares images with another user. A user may send a request to a content management system to share one or more images with various contacts. In response, a room is created by the content management system in which a copy of each image is stored. Images added to a room are copied to a separate “rooms” database, and “locked,” being saved in the room for a period of time, which may be indefinitely. Changes made by the user to a room via a user device may be displayed as soon as indicated, without waiting for the information to be sent to a system server or its state to be made consistent with that of the user device. Room activity notifications may be sent to members in various ways.

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: An online photo management service that stores a collection of photos belonging to a user can send re-engagement messages to the user that can include photos automatically selected from the collection. The selection can be based on a scoring algorithm that rates the photos according to a set of attributes and computes a score based on the attributes and a set of weights. Based on user responses to re-engagement messages, the weights can be tuned to more reliably select photos likely to result in user re-engagement with the stored collection of photos.
