Methods, systems, and computer program products for a content management system. Embodiments operate within or in conjunction with such a content management system. The content management system stores content objects for access by various collaborators, including extra-system collaborators. A user of the content management system configures extra-enterprise shared link URLs that permit the extra-system collaborators to access shared content objects over an Internet connection. A shared link event graph data structure is formed based on access requests over the extra-enterprise shared link URLs. An interactive user interface module is generated by processing a shared link report query over the shared link event graph data structure to select a subject set of the extra-enterprise shared link URLs, and to generate a data set of the interactive user interface module based at least in part on results from the query. A user interacts with the interactive user interface module to generate insights.

Calculating and reporting collaboration system risks

Enterprise administrators in a cloud-based environment including a cloud-based server and a repository can selectively impose permissions on items (e.g., files and folders) marked for synchronization ('sync items'). The sync items can be synchronized with the client devices of users by downloading the items along with the permission attributes from the cloud-based server. However, the permissions on those sync items means that any unpermitted changes to the local copies of the sync items do not get uploaded to the cloud-based server. A synchronization client on the client devices detects any changes made locally to the sync items that are not consistent with the permission attributes, and repairs those changes so that the sync items are restored to their most recent states. This ensures that any unauthorized changes made to sync items remain local and do not propagate by the synchronization process to other users.

Synchronization of permissioned content in cloud-based environments

A system and method for facilitating client software access to messages, such as event messages, generated in a networked computing environment, such as a file-collaboration system. An example method uses a message bus and accompanying Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to allow collaborators to employ client software to interface with highly scalable and organized message bus records, maintained via an underlying distributed database. The APIs and associated interface allow client software; not limited to collaboration software clients; to efficiently publish to, subscribe to, and obtain information about event records of the message bus. An embodiment allows selective load balancing and deferral of event message processing; efficient message offset handling and data center failover functionality, and so on.
