A system is provided for controlling access to data stored in a cloud-based storage service. Data associated with a user account is stored at the cloud-based storage service. A first request to cause a portion of the data to be associated with a heightened authentication protocol is received. In response, the portion of the data is caused to require the heightened authentication protocol for access. A second request for a file that is stored in the area that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol is received. The second request is authenticated based on the heightened authentication protocol. In response to authenticating the second request, permission is granted to access the file. In response to a failure to authenticate the second request, access to the file is denied, while access to files stored in other areas associated with the user account is allowed.

The present disclosure relates to processing operations configured for management of proactive suggestion(s) that may be utilized to manage the sharing of meeting content. The present disclosure further describes optimization of a user interface whereby a user interface experience is improved through new user interface features and actions that enable proactive presentation of suggestions for syncing content with a meeting as well as sharing synced content. Various intelligent signals such as user's calendar, GPS location, camera roll content, capture content (including OCR, whiteboard detection, etc.) and capture time, are collected and analyzed to make smart suggestions to the user to share content with specific set of people (e.g., those involved in meeting). Processing described herein enables contextual correlation between specific content and a scheduled meeting, whereby results of that contextual correlation can be used to execute programmed actions to improve efficiency for computing devices and users.
