In general, aspects of the disclosure are directed towards techniques for initiating an authorization flow with a user to enable a user interface-limited client computing device to obtain access to protected resources hosted by a resource service. In some aspects, a computing device comprises at least one processor. The computing device also comprises a short-range wireless communication module operable by the at least one processor to receive, using short-range wireless communication, an authentication request from a client device. The computing device also comprises an authorization module operable by the at least one processor to receive authorization to provide at least one security credential to the client device, wherein the authorization module is further configured to, responsive to receiving the authorization, send an indication of the authorization to an authentication service.

A cloud storage system identifies and creates metadata associated with a stored file. On receiving a request to access the file with an application, the cloud storage system generates a metadata category associated only with the application, and creates metadata associated with the generated metadata category and corresponding to the file. On receiving a request to access file metadata, the cloud storage system identifies an application associated with the metadata access request, identifies a set of metadata categories associated with the identified application, filters metadata associated with the file based on the identified set of metadata categories, and provides the filtered metadata to the application.

System and method to store third-party metadata in a cloud storage system

Systems and methods disclosed herein relate to a method of storing metadata for a file on a cloud based storage system. A server may receive a request from a third party application to store metadata for a file. The server may determine a metadata type based on the request. The server may associate the metadata value with an application identifier. The application identifier may identify a third party application. The server may store the metadata value based on the determined metadata type. The stored metadata may be associated with the application identifier and the stored metadata value may include information related to an anchor. The anchor may be an attribute of the file, and anchor can change respectively as the attribute changes.
