Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating remote key management services in a collaborative cloud-based environment. In one embodiment, the remote key management architecture and techniques described herein provide for local key encryption and automatic generation of a reason code associated with content access. The reason code is logged by a hardware security module which is monitored by a remote client device (e.g., an enterprise client) to control a second (remote) layer of key encryption. The remote client device provides client-side control and configurability of the second layer of key encryption.

Enhanced remote key management for an enterprise in a cloud-based environment

Systems and methods for providing enhancement of upload and/or download performance based on client and/or server feedback information are disclosed. In one embodiment, the disclosed method optimizes upload performance by performing an upload speed test to measure an upload speed associated with each of multiple servers. The method detects a user request to upload a file from a client device to a host server. Based on results from the upload speed test, the method selects one of the multiple servers to upload the file. The multiple servers can include host servers providing cloud-based collaboration and/or storage services, one or more content delivery network servers and/or geographically distributed edge servers.

Enhancement of upload and/or download performance based on client and/or server feedback information

Systems and methods for providing enhancement of upload and/or download performance based on client and/or server feedback information are disclosed. In an embodiment, the disclosed method detects that a data transfer event is about to occur and based on a set of characteristics associated with the data transfer event, selects a host from a group of hosts as a pathway for transferring data associated with the data transfer event to optimize data transfer performance. The group of hosts can include a server providing cloud-based collaboration and/or storage services, one or more content delivery network servers and/or geographically distributed edge servers.
