A data storage system providing data access to multiple users is provided. The data storage system includes a data store configured to store electronic files and a processor operably coupled to the data store. Memory is operably coupled to the processor and stores instructions that, when executed, provide an access control component that allows certain users to interact with a given electronic file of the stored electronic files. The processor is configured to detect a change to the given electronic file that affects a user's access to the given electronic file and responsively generate a notification to the user that allows the user to request renewed access to the given electronic file.

File access permission revocation notification

A computing system comprises at least one processor memory. The at least one processor, when executing a hosting application loaded in the memory, is configured to perform several acts. These acts include receiving data generated by a scheduling application, wherein the data indicates that a file hosted by the file hosting application is referenced in a meeting object generated by the scheduling application. The acts further include responsive to receiving the data, assigning metadata to the file hosted by the file hosting application, the metadata comprises the data generated by the scheduling application. The acts also include at a threshold time prior to the time when the meeting represented by the meeting object is to occur, causing a notification to be transmitted to a client computing device from which credentials of a user in the users have been received, the notification transmitted based upon the metadata assigned to the file.

Correlating a file hosted at a file hosting server with a meeting object

Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure help improve the functionality of electronic messaging software and systems by providing selective push notifications to users of such systems in response to new content being published. Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide notifications to some users based on the relevance of published content to such users, while abstaining from notifying users for whom the content is irrelevant.

Organizationally programmable intranet push notifications

Described herein are various technologies pertaining to generating an activity feed for an entity hosted at a file hosting server. The activity feed includes a plurality of entries that are representative of activities undertaken with respect to the entity over time.

Activity feed for hosted files

Described herein is a system architecture that supports generating analytics data about files hosted by a file hosting server. Also described herein are various graphical user interfaces that are well-suited to present at least a portion of the analytics data to a user.

Computing system architecture for producing file analytics

Techniques and technologies for a details pane of a user interface are described. In at least some embodiments, a system includes a user interface component operable to render a content section at least partially viewable within a details pane, the content section including a section header; when the location of the section header is above an uppermost available position within the details pane, causing an upper sticky header that is a duplicate of the section header to be visible at the uppermost available position; when the location of the section header is below a lowermost available position within the details pane, causing a lower sticky header that is another duplicate of the section header to be visible at the lowermost available position; and when the location of the section header is at or between the uppermost and the lowermost available positions, causing the section header to be visible.
