Abstract
Embodiments are provided for a dropsite. In some embodiments, information is received on a creation location and a date and time of creation of a content item, and a determination is made if (i) the date and time of creation is within a predefined span of time, and (ii) the creation location is within a predefined geographical area to permit association of the content item with a shared folder whose inclusion criteria match said date and time and geographic location.
Claims20
A method for adding content items to a collection of content items in a content management system, the method comprising:
- receiving a predefined timestamp range associated with the collection of content items;
- detecting, by the content management system, a device within a predefined geographical area, the predefined geographical area associated with the collection of content items stored on the content management system;
- receiving, by the content management system from the device detected as being within the predefined geographical area, a request to upload the content item to the collection of content items;
- responsive to determining that a timestamp associated with a creation of the content item being within the predefined timestamp range, permitting the request to upload the content item to the collection of content items.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to execute operations for adding content items to a collection of content items in a content management system, the operations comprising:
- receiving a predefined timestamp range associated with the collection of content items;
- detecting, by the content management system, a device within a predefined geographical area, the predefined geographical area associated with the collection of content items stored on the content management system;
- receiving, by the content management system from the device detected within the predefined geographical area, a request to upload the content item to the collection of content items;
- responsive to determining that a timestamp associated with the content item being within the predefined timestamp range, permitting the request to upload the content item to the collection of content items.
A system for adding content items to a collection of content items in a content management system, the system comprising:
- memory with instructions encoded thereon;
- and
- one or more processors that, when executing the instructions, are caused to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a predefined timestamp range associated with the collection of content items;
- receiving, by the content management system from a device, a request to upload the content item to the collection of content items;
- responsive to determining that the device is within the predefined geographical area and a timestamp associated with the content item is within the predefined timestamp range, permitting the request to upload the content item to the collection of content items.
