Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing action-recommendations (e.g., save action, collaboration action, and upload action) using cloud system operations in a cloud system. For example, action-recommendations are predicted using usage data of applications and communicated to a user (e.g., via a prompt) such that the user elects to perform or not perform the action-recommendation. In operation, usage data for an application and an action-recommendation profile are accessed. Determining that an action-recommendation should be generated is based on the usage data and the action-recommendation profile. The determination is further based on action scores and thresholds (e.g., save action, collaboration action, upload action). When the action scores meet certain thresholds, the action-recommendation is generated as a save-action-recommendation, a collaboration-action-recommendation, or an upload-action-recommendation. Based on generating the action-recommendation, an action recommendation interface element (e.g., an action prompt or action dialog) is generated to perform a corresponding action.

Prediction-based action-recommendations in a cloud system

A system is provided for enabling in-application support for topological changes to local files during remote synchronization. The techniques disclosed herein solve the problems of existing systems by mitigating conflict states and loss of edits being made to a file during synchronization. In addition, the techniques disclosed herein enable a user to interact directly with a productivity application to rename and/or move a file. The techniques disclosed herein provide an improved user experience and more efficient methods for interacting with files in that a user does not have to exit a productivity application and interact with an operating system interface to rename and/or move a file. A productivity application can operate in a server mode or a client mode depending on a validity of a requested destination location for a file.
