Mobile platform file and folder selection functionalities for offline access and synchronization

A method of providing content items of cloud-based collaboration platform for offline access on a client device, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the cloud-based collaboration platform, from the client device, a selection of the one or more folders or sub-folders for offline access, wherein the one or more folders or sub-folders are hosted by the cloud-based collaboration platform;
• sending, from the cloud-based collaboration platform, to the client device, the one or more folders or sub-folders for offline access;
• receiving, by the cloud-based collaboration platform, a synchronization request from the client device;
• identifying, by the cloud-based collaboration platform, that at least one of the one or more folders or sub-folders contains at least one file that has an out-of-date synchronization status;
• identifying, by the cloud-based collaboration platform, that at least one of the one or more folders or sub-folders has a current synchronization status;
• and
• sending, by the cloud-based collaboration platform, to the client device, a message indicating a timestamp when each of the at least one of the one or more folders or sub-folders having a current synchronization status was updated or downloaded.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled with and readable by the processor and storing therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to provide content items of cloud-based collaboration platform for offline access on a client device by:
• receiving from the client device, a selection of the one or more folders or sub-folders for offline access, wherein the one or more folders or sub-folders are hosted by the cloud-based collaboration platform;
• sending to the client device, the one or more folders or sub-folders for offline access;
• receiving a synchronization a synchronization request from the client device;
• identifying that at least one of the one or more folders or sub-folders contains at least one file that has an out-of-date synchronization status;
• identifying that at least one of the one or more folders or sub-folders has a current synchronization status;
• and
• sending to the client device, a message indicating a timestamp when each of the at least one of the one or more folders or sub-folders having a current synchronization status was updated or downloaded.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions stored therein which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to provide content items of cloud-based collaboration platform for offline access on a client device by:

• receiving from the client device, a selection of the one or more folders or sub-folders for offline access, wherein the one or more folders or sub-folders are hosted by the cloud-based collaboration platform;
• sending to the client device, the one or more folders or sub-folders for offline access;
• receiving a synchronization request from the client device;
• identifying that at least one of the one or more folders or sub-folders contains at least one file that has an out-of-date synchronization status;
• identifying that at least one of the one or more folders or sub-folders has a current synchronization status;
• and
• sending to the client device, a message indicating a timestamp when each of the at least one of the one or more folders or sub-folders having a current synchronization status was updated or downloaded.
