A method for saving a file stored on a third-party system to a cloud storage system includes receiving, at a cloud storage server of the cloud storage system, a save request from the third party system. The save request is generated in response to a user selecting, via a user interface presented on a client computer, the file from a plurality of files stored on the third-party system, the file to be saved to the cloud storage server. The save request comprises a file identifier of the file and information identifying the user. The information identifying the user allows access to a user account of the user on the cloud storage system without use of the client computer as intermediary service, and the third-party system stores the file associated with the file identifier. The method further includes authenticating the save request, based at least in part on the information identifying the user, creating a copy of the file at the cloud storage server, and associating the copy of the file with the user.

A method of notifying a user of a cloud-based content management platform of a comment made in a document associated with the user includes determining a set of comments associated with documents to which the user has access via the cloud-based content management platform, the set of comments including one or more comments added by other users to each document within a last predetermined time period, selecting one or more comments from the set of comments for notification to the user, the selecting being based at least on interactions of the user with a comment thread associated with each comment from the set of comments and characteristics of the comment thread, wherein a comment thread is a group of a plurality of comments comprising a first comment and a second comment added in reply to the first comment, determining one or more documents associated with the one or more selected comments, and providing a graphical user interface (GUI) of a cloud storage of the user hosted by the cloud-based content management platform for presentation to the user, the GUI identifying the one or more documents and, for each identified document, a respective selected comment associated with the identified document.
