Systems for managing content in a cloud-based service platform. A server in a cloud-based environment is interfaced with storage devices that hold one or more stored objects accessible by two or more users. The stored objects comprise folders and files as well as other objects such as workflow objects that are associated with the folders or the files. The workflow objects comprise workflow metadata that describes a workflow as a set of workflow tasks to be carried out in a progression. Processing of a workflow task and/or carrying out a portion of the progression includes modification of shared content objects. The processing or modification events are detected through workflow events, which in turn cause one or more workflow responses to be generated. Workflow responses comprise updates to the workflow metadata to record progression through the workflow and/or workflow responses comprise updates to any one or more of the stored objects.

Managing flow-based interactions with cloud-based shared content

A cloud-based platform (e.g., cloud-based collaboration and/or storage platform/service) is described that provides advanced control tools for administrators of an enterprise account. The advanced control tools permit the administrator to set mobile security settings for mobile devices running applications that allow a user to access enterprise data in the cloud-based platform; activity notification archiving; support for multiple email domains; automation processes; and policies. The settings selected by the administrator are applied enterprise-wide within the cloud-based platform.

System and method for advanced control tools for administrators in a cloud-based service

Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating secure commenting on content items among collaborators via external messaging applications in a collaborative cloud-based environment. In one embodiment, the system receives a response to a notification associated with a content item from a collaborator via an external messaging application. The response can include a text-based comment associated with the content item and secure message information provided by the notification including a message and a message authentication code. The system then determines a validity of the response. The validity of the response can include verifying the integrity of the message using the message authentication code.
