Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for managing content items having multiple resolutions may be provided. In some embodiments, a user device may send a request to access one or more images from a content management system. The one or more images may be categorized on the user device by an expected use that determines that the one or more images be in a first version. A second version of the one or more images may be received while a background download of the first version of the one or more images may be performed. In some embodiments, the first version may correspond to a high-resolution image whereas the second version may correspond to a lower resolution image.

Systems and methods for managing content items having multiple resolutions

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for dynamically selecting and sending content items to a user device based on various network and device conditions are provided. In some embodiments, a listing of images stored within a user account on a content management system may be generated, and a selection probability value may be assigned to each image within the listing. An available capacity level on the user device may be determined, and images may be dynamically selected to be sent to the user device based on the determined available capacity level and each image's selection probability value. In some embodiments, each image's selection probability value may be based on one or more factors. For example, images that have been recently viewed, recently added to a collection of images, and/or shared within a shared virtual space created by the user, may receive higher selection probability values than other images. In some embodiments, the selected images may be ranked in order of priority for transmission to the user device and sent to the user device in order of rank.

Systems and methods for selecting content items to store and present locally on a user device

One or more embodiments of the present disclosure include a content navigation system that allows a user to search, browse, and otherwise experience a collection of digital content items. For example, the content navigation system can provide a graphical user interface including a scroll element. One or more embodiments of the scroll element can include various navigational functions that provide a user-friendly interface for browsing and experiencing a collection of digital content items. Furthermore, the content navigation system can provide methods and systems for a user to easily configure the way in which the digital content items are organized within the user interface, thereby customizing the user's browsing experience.

Navigating galleries of digital content

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for identifying accounts having shared credentials. In some implementations, a content management system can collect user login context data when a user logs in to or accesses a user account of the content management system. For example, the content management system can collect client device data, client application data, internet protocol (IP) address data, and/or other data from the user's device when the user logs in to the user account. The content management system can analyze the login context data to determine patterns that indicate that the user account login credentials are being shared among multiple users.

Identifying accounts having shared credentials

Embodiments are provided for forming share bars including collections of content items. In some embodiments, a user interface may be displayed on a display interface of a user device. The user interface may include a first region including a collection of content items and a second region including one or more contact icons. A first gesture may be detected on the display interface that selects one or more content items from the collection of content items and places the one or more content items in a first share bar associated with a first contact of the one or more contacts. One or more share options may be provided to share the first share bar with a first contact corresponding to the first contact icon.

Sharing content items from a collection

Embodiments are provided for forming share bars including collections of content items. In some embodiments, a user interface may be displayed on a display interface of a user device. The user interface may include a first region including a collection of content items and a second region. A first gesture may be detected with the display interface that selects a first content item from the displayed collection of content items. In response to detecting the first gesture, a first thumbnail of the first content item may be created and placed in the second region. A share option may be provided within the second region that may enable a user of the user device to share any content items that may have a corresponding thumbnail in the second region.
