Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a folder activity user interface, such as a folder activity dashboard, that can provide viewing members with an overview of the sync progress of their own activities, like uploading content items, as well as the activities of other activity-initiating members, such as uploads to shared folders that the viewing members have access to. The folder activity user interface includes status indicators that correspond to the progress related to folder activity information and the respective content items of the shared folder, such as indicating progress towards when a respective content item will be accessible to the viewing member.

A method of providing a folder activity user interface to a viewing member of a shared folder, wherein the viewing member is different than an activity-initiating member that causes a folder activity, the method comprising:
- subscribing, at a content management system, the viewing member to receive folder activity information for the shared folder in the folder activity user interface, wherein the shared folder is shared with the viewing member by the activity-initiating member;
- providing to a client application at a client device of the viewing member, the folder activity user interface for display, the folder activity user interface including the folder activity information for at least one shared folder, wherein the folder activity information includes a listing of one or more currently uploading content items being uploaded to the at least one shared folder by the activity-initiating member and an estimated time for the one or more currently uploading content items to be accessible at the client application;
- and
- after the currently uploading content items are accessible at the client application, sending the content items to the client application.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- subscribing a viewing member to receive folder activity information for a shared folder in a folder activity user interface, wherein the shared folder is shared with the viewing member by the activity-initiating member;
- providing to a client application on a client device associated with the viewing member, for display, the folder activity user interface including the folder activity information for at least one shared folder-, wherein the folder activity information includes a listing of one or more currently uploading content items being uploaded to the at least one shared folder by an activity-initiating member, wherein the viewing member is different than the activity-initiating member and an estimated time for the one or more currently uploading content items to be accessible at the client application;
- and
- after the currently uploading content items are accessible at the client application, sending the content items to the client application.
A content management system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- automatically subscribing a viewing member to receive a folder activity information for all shared folders to which the viewing member has access;
- subscribing the viewing member to receive the folder activity information for a shared folder in a folder activity user interface, wherein the shared folder is shared with the viewing member, wherein the folder activity user interface includes a status indicator for the at least a first content item of the one or more content items indicating progress towards when the first content item will be accessible to the viewing member at a client application on a client device associated with the viewing member;
- providing to a client application of the viewing member, for display, the folder activity user interface, the folder activity user interface including the folder activity information for at least one shared folder, wherein the folder activity information includes a listing of one or more currently uploading content items being uploaded to the at least one shared folder by an activity-initiating member, wherein the viewing member is different than the activity-initiating member and an estimated time for the one or more currently uploading content items to be accessible at the client application;
- and
- after the currently uploading content items are accessible at the client application. sending the content items to the client application.
