US 2014/0351346 A1 · PROVIDING INFORMATION FOR SHARED CONTENT

Abstract

Various embodiments can enable a content item associated with a sharer account of a content management system to be shared with a recipient account of the content management system. The content item can be analyzed to determine at least some information about the content item, which can include one or more properties associated with the content item, one or more representations of one or more content portions present in the content item, or any combination thereof. A communication can notify the recipient account that the sharer account has shared the content item with the recipient account. The communication can further comprise the determined information about the content item, which can include the one or more properties and/or the one or more representations of the content portions. This information can enable the recipient to make a better decision regarding whether or not to accept the share invitation.
