Abstract
Systems and methods for integrating cloud-based and cloud-backed content items with a content management system are provided. In some examples, a method can include receiving a request to access a smart pointer on a content management system, the smart pointer including a representation of a content item on a cloud provider, wherein content and features of the content item are accessible through an online application associated with the cloud provider, the content item comprising a cloud-based or cloud-backed content item. The method can include, in response to the smart pointer being invoked, sending, from a cloud integration element of an application to the cloud provider, a request for the content of the content item; receiving, at the cloud integration element, from the cloud provider, the content of the content item; and presenting, at the application, the content as part of a rendered instance of the smart pointer.
