Using a first unique identifier of a local file on a client machine associated with a second unique identifier of a content item maintained at a content management system repository, synchronization of the local file and the content item can be restored after a synchronization break.

File tracking on client machines synchronized with a content management system repository

Systems and methods for concurrent modification of content are provided. In response to a verified request received from a user content is copied to a first storage media as a first version of the content uniquely identified by a first identifier, the verified request being based on verification of the user's credentials. In response to the user editing the first version of the content, the edited copy of the content is stored in the content management system in association with a second identifier uniquely identifying the edited copy of the content as a second version of the content. In response to receiving a notification that a plurality of users no longer request access to the content stored in the content management system, the first version of the content is deleted from the first storage media.

Management of collaborative content item modification

A synchronization queuing service associated with a content management system repository can record file events occurring to content items maintained at the content management system repository. The synchronization queuing service can receive a file synchronization request for information identifying a content item to which a client machine is subscribed. The synchronization queuing service can determine consistency or inconsistency of a client machine state of the content item relative to the content item at the content management system repository and can respond to client machine with a file event summary comprising information usable by the client machine to identify actions necessary to synchronize the client machine state of the content item the content item.

Synchronization of client machines with a content management system repository

The content management system can receive log-on requests from a plurality of users and a request from the plurality of users to access content stored in a repository of the content management system. The requested content can be copied to a transient content store. The transient content store can facilitate presentation of the copy of the content on a shared interface to the plurality of users. The transient content store can facilitate editing of the copy of the content by the plurality of users simultaneously by an editor external to the content management system. The edited copy of the content can be transmitted back to the content management system and can be stored in the repository of the content management system.
