Intelligent home screen of cloud-based content management platform

Abstract

A method of providing a workspace graphical user interface (GUI) for a user of a cloud-based content management platform includes providing the workspace GUI for the user via the cloud-based content management platform. The workspace GUI presents visual representations of documents stored on the user's cloud storage of the cloud-based content management platform and visual representations of workspaces created by the user. Each workspace includes a set of documents previously added to a respective workspace by the user and stored on the user's cloud storage. The method further includes receiving, via the workspace GUI, a user input with respect to a corresponding document stored on the user's cloud storage. The user input indicates a request to add the corresponding document to a particular workspace. The method further includes modifying a visual representation of the particular workspace to add the corresponding document to the particular workspace, and allowing the user to perform an action pertaining to content of the corresponding document in the workspace GUI without opening a document editing application associated with the corresponding document.
