Abstract

Systems and methods for integrating cloud-based and cloud-backed content items with a content management system are provided. In some examples, a method can include receiving a request to access a canonical content item stored at a content management system, the canonical content item representing a cloud-based content item or a cloud-backed content item having features designed for access through a native online application associated with a cloud content provider; in response to the canonical content item being invoked, sending, from a local application to the cloud content provider, a request for the features of the content item; receiving, at the local application and from the cloud content provider, metadata for enabling the features of the content item; and based on the metadata, providing, on the local application, the features and a content of the content item as part of a rendered instance of the canonical content item.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by a cloud content provider and from a user account associated with a content management system, a request to access, through a canonical content item stored at the content management system, one or more features designed for access from a native online application associated with the cloud content provider;
identifying data determined to support extending a functionality of the canonical content item stored at the content management system to include the one or more features designed for access from the native online application;
and
providing, by the cloud content provider and to the user account associated with a content management system, the data determined to support extending the functionality of the canonical content item stored at the content management system to include the one or more features designed for access from the native online application.

1 more element

A cloud system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the cloud system to:
receive, from a user account associated with a content management system, a request to access, through a canonical content item stored at the content management system, one or more features designed for access from a native online application associated with a cloud content provider associated with the cloud system;
identify data determined to support extending a functionality of the canonical content item stored at the content management system to include the one or more features designed for access from the native online application;
and
provide, to the user account associated with a content management system, the data determined to support extending the functionality of the canonical content item stored at the content management system to include the one or more features designed for access from the native online application.

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive, by a cloud content provider and from a user account associated with a content management system, a request to access, through a canonical content item stored at the content management system, one or more features designed for access from a native online application associated with the cloud content provider;
identify data determined to support extending a functionality of the canonical content item stored at the content management system to include the one or more features designed for access from the native online application;
and
provide, by the cloud content provider and to the user account associated with a content management system, the data determined to support extending the functionality of the canonical content item stored at the content management system to include the one or more features designed for access from the native online application.
