Systems and methods for content sharing through external systems

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
• and
• stored instructions translatable by the processor for causing a sharing module to perform:
• receiving, through a repository adapter, an instruction to publish a share in a repository residing in an enterprise computing environment to a content consumption system external to the repository, wherein the sharing module is adapted for multiple-to-multiple connections among a plurality of repositories through repository adapters and a plurality of content consumption systems through content consumption system adapters;
• retrieving, through the repository adapter, objects and metadata from the share in the repository residing in the enterprise computing environment;
• communicating, through a content consumption system adapter, the objects and the metadata retrieved from the share in the repository residing in the enterprise computing environment to the content consumption system external to the repository to thereby publish the share to the content consumption system external to the repository, wherein the metadata provides context to the objects thus published;
• monitoring any changes to the share in the repository residing in the enterprise computing environment and in the content consumption system external to the repository;
• and
• responsive to detecting a change to the share in the repository residing in the enterprise computing environment or in the content consumption system external to the repository, syncing the share in the repository residing in the enterprise computing environment and in the content consumption system external to the repository.
