A cloud storage system identifies and creates metadata associated with a stored file. On receiving a request to access the file with an application, the cloud storage system generates a metadata category associated only with the application, and creates metadata associated with the generated metadata category and corresponding to the file. On receiving a request to access file metadata, the cloud storage system identifies an application associated with the metadata access request, identifies a set of metadata categories associated with the identified application, filters metadata associated with the file based on the identified set of metadata categories, and provides the filtered metadata to the application.

System and method to store third-party metadata in a cloud storage system

Techniques are shown for installing third-party applications onto a network system in appropriate containers on the network system. The containers store data and content of the same internet media type or MIME-type as the third-party applications.

Installation of third-party web applications into a container

A method and a system for managing login using a cookie are described. The method includes receiving from a respective client system a request for document information, and receiving from the respective client system a cookie that identifies a plurality of user names logged into the server system from the respective client system. The plurality of logged-in user names includes a first user name and a second user name distinct from the first user name. The method also includes redirecting the received request to a location associated with a selected user name of the plurality of logged-in user names, and receiving the redirected request. The method furthermore includes, in response to the redirected request, processing the request as a request from the selected user name and sending to the respective client system document information corresponding to the request from the selected user name.

Managing multiple logins from a single browser

Techniques are shown for providing third-party applications access to user resources based on user actions and processes that provide the third-party applications with the correct security tokens. The scope of access granted in various implementations of the disclosure is all documents which the user has already opened with the third-party application.

Controlling access by web applications to resources on servers

Techniques are described for associating file types with application in a network storage service. User environment manager at storage service receives file identifier for specific requested file from user operating computing device and obtains file format type identifier associated with file identifier from data store for file. User environment manager determines default application to open specific requested file in response to matching application ID (app ID) from default 'Open with' list contained in user preferences store with list of app IDs for installed applications that support file format type. Once determined, user environment manager opens specific requested file from data store utilizing the default application. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
