An electronic document is provided for display at a first user device associated with a first user. A first input associated with a body portion of the electronic document is received from the first user device of the first user. The first input includes a particular symbol followed by one or more characters that represent a second user. A second input associated with the body portion of the electronic document is received from the first user device of the first user. The second input includes textual input associated with the body portion of the electronic document. The first input associated with the body portion of the electronic document is analyzed to determine one or more user addresses. A message is caused to be sent to a second user device of the second user using the determined one or more user addresses.

Document processing service for displaying comments included in messages

A plurality of comments associated with a document is received, and a representation of the document and a representation of a comment thread comprising the plurality of comments are displayed simultaneously on a user device. In one embodiment, a first comment is received from a first user and a second comment is received from a second user. The comment thread may be stored. Systems and apparatus are also disclosed.

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to access an electronic document collection that integrates a plurality of electronic sub-documents that are each of one of a plurality of defined document types. The method also includes retrieving information that is associated with the document collection, wherein the retrieved information identifies a first sub-document of the plurality of sub-documents using a first non-address identifier, and identifying a first software application that is configured to provide access to the first sub-document. The method additionally includes initiating a first connection with a first server that causes execution of the identified first software application and that, using the first non-address identifier, provides access to the first sub-document. The method further includes integrating access to the first sub-document into the document collection through the initiated first connection with the first server that causes execution of the first software application.

Providing an electronic document collection

Online document processing service for displaying comments

A method includes transmitting, from a storage system to a user system, information that, when processed by the user system, causes the user system to display a current view representing the one or more items. The method also includes selecting, at the storage system in response to a first user input signal that identifies at least one item from one or more items that are stored at the storage system, a removal operation based on one or more predetermined criteria, wherein the one or more predetermined criteria include a view type of the current view. The method also includes performing, at the storage system, the removal operation with respect to the at least one item.
