Collaborative manipulation of media files

A method implemented by at least one server and comprising:

• accessing session data from a browsing session of a first user of a first client device at a website of an enterprise;
• accessing, from the enterprise, first user information associated with the first user;
• determining, based on the session data and the first user information, that the first user would like to collaborate with a second user of a second client device;
• retrieving a first data file from the enterprise based on the session data and the first user information;
• determining a data type of the first data file;
• accessing, from the enterprise, metadata associated with the first data file;
• identifying one or more sources of data files based on at least one of the first data file, the data type and the metadata;
• generating a collaboration user interface providing:
• options for viewing and manipulating the first data file, and a user-selectable list of the one or more sources of data files;
• transmitting a first collaboration widget to the first device and a second collaboration widget to the second device;
• and
• providing the first and second client devices with access to the collaboration user interface using the first and second collaboration widgets respectively.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code which, when executed by at least one processor of a server, is operative to cause the server to perform the steps of:

• accessing session data from a browsing session of a first user of a first client device at a website of an enterprise;
• accessing, from the enterprise, first user information associated with the first user;
• determining, based on the session data and the first user information, that the first user would like to collaborate with a second user of a second client device;
• retrieving a first data file from the enterprise based on the session data and the first user information;
• determining a data type of the first data file;
• accessing, from the enterprise, metadata associated with the first data file;
• identifying one or more sources of data files based on at least one of the first data file, the data type and the metadata;
• generating a collaboration user interface providing:
• options for viewing and manipulating the first data file, and a user-selectable list of the one or more sources of data files;
• transmitting a first collaboration widget to the first device and a second collaboration widget to the second device;
• and
• providing the first and second client devices with access to the collaboration user interface using the first and second collaboration widgets respectively.
