    Abstract: A synchronization protocol for multi-premises hosting of digital content items. In one embodiment, for example, a method comprises the operations of: detecting creation or modification of a content item; determining a content item namespace to which the content item belongs; obtaining a plurality of identifiers of a plurality of block servers to which the content item namespace is assigned; making a selection of one of the plurality of block servers as a target block server; and uploading any content item blocks of the content item to the target block server that are not already stored at the target block server.

    Abstract: Techniques for apparent cloud access of a hosted content item. In one embodiment, for example, a method performed at a personal computing device executing a user agent comprises: receiving a block agent request for a content item from the user agent; determining content item block identifiers of content item blocks that make up the content item; determining which, if any, of the content item blocks that make up the content item are not stored in a local storage of the personal computing device; downloading, from a block server of an online content management system, any of the content item blocks that are not stored in a local storage of the personal computing device; and sending to the user agent, in a response to the block agent request, data of each of the content item blocks that make up the content item.

    Abstract: Shared workspaces with selective content item synchronization. In one embodiment, for example, a method performed at a personal computing device comprises: displaying an actionable shared workspace launcher icon for a shared workspace accessible by a user account held with a content management system; downloading metadata pertaining to the shared workspace from the content management system; downloading one or more content item blocks for a particular content item belonging to the shared workspace from a content item server of the content management system; storing the one or more content item blocks at the personal computing device; and responsive to an activation of an actionable file system icon corresponding to the particular content item, updating display of the corresponding actionable file system icon for the particular content item to indicate that the particular content item is currently configured for offline access.

    Abstract translation: 具有选择性内容项目同步的共享工作区。 在一个实施例中,例如,在个人计算设备处执行的方法包括:显示用于由与内容管理系统持有的用户帐户可访问的共享工作空间的可操作共享工作空间启动器图标; 从所述内容管理系统下载与所述共享工作空间有关的元数据; 从所述内容管理系统的内容项服务器下载属于所述共享工作空间的特定内容项的一个或多个内容项块; 在所述个人计算设备处存储所述一个或多个内容项块; 并且响应于对与特定内容项目相对应的可操作的文件系统图标的激活,更新用于特定内容项目的相应可操作文件系统图标的显示,以指示特定内容项目当前被配置为用于离线访问。
