Processing message attachments in shared folder backed integrated workspaces
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- generating, by a content management system, a shared folder backed workspace that provides an integrated environment for manipulating content items in a shared folder and communicating with authorized users of the shared folder;
receiving, by the content management system, an e-mail message addressed to a workspace email list corresponding to the shared folder backed workspace, the e-mail message having a message body and an attached content item;
determining, by the content management system, that the email message has an attached content item;
storing, by the content management system, the attached content item in the shared folder;
generating, by the content management system, a link to the stored content item corresponding to the attached content item;
generating, by the content management system, a workspace graphical user interface that includes the message body and the link to the stored content item; and
presenting, at the workspace graphical user interface, a representation reflecting content of the stored content item without including a copy of the content item, the representation comprising a preview image of the stored content item that dynamically updates to reflect changes made to the stored content item.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for shared folder backed integrated workspaces. In some implementations, a content management system can provide a graphical user interface (GUI) that integrates communications and content management into a single user interface. The user interface can include mechanisms that allow a user to provide input to generate a new workspace. The user interface can provide a mechanism to allow a user to view conversations related to the workspace and/or content items associated with the workspace. The user interface can present representations of content items associated with the workspace and allow the user to provide input to generate, view, edit, and share content items associated with the workspace.

4. A method comprising:
-
generating, by a content management system, a shared folder backed workspace that provides an integrated environment for manipulating content items in a shared folder and communicating with authorized users of the shared folder; generating a workspace graphical user interface representing the shared folder backed workspace including representations of the content items in the shared folder without including copies of the content items, each representation reflecting content of a corresponding content item, each representation comprising a preview image of the corresponding content item that dynamically updates to reflect changes made to the corresponding content item, a message stream for presenting workspace messages, and user interface elements for generating new workspace messages; receiving a new workspace message, the workspace message including a link to a content item stored in the shared folder; adding the new workspace message to the message stream; generating an e-mail addressed to a mailing list associated with the shared folder, the e-mail including the workspace message and the link to the content item; and sending the email to the mailing list. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7)

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause:
-
generating, by a content management system, a shared folder backed workspace that provides an integrated environment for manipulating content items in a shared folder and communicating with authorized users of the shared folder; receiving, by the content management system, an e-mail message addressed to a workspace email list corresponding to the shared folder backed workspace, the e-mail message having a message body and an attached content item; storing, by the content management system, the attached content item in the shared folder; generating, by the content management system, a link to the stored content item; generating, by the content management system, a workspace graphical user interface that includes the message body and the link to the stored content item; and presenting, at the workspace graphical user interface, a representation reflecting content of the stored content item without including a copy of the content item, the representation comprising a preview image of the stored content item that dynamically updates to reflect changes made to the stored content item. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause:
-
generating, by a content management system, a workspace graphical user interface that provides an integrated environment for manipulating content items in a shared folder and communicating with authorized users of the shared folder, the workspace graphical user interface including representations of the content items in the shared folder without including copies of the content items, each representation reflecting content of a corresponding content item, each representation comprising a preview image of the corresponding content item that dynamically updates to reflect changes made to the corresponding content item, a message stream for presenting workspace messages, and user interface elements for generating new workspace messages; receiving a new workspace message, the workspace message including a link to a content item stored in the shared folder; adding the new workspace message to the message stream; generating an e-mail addressed to a mailing list associated with the shared folder, the e-mail including the workspace message and the link to the content item; and sending the email to the mailing list. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A content management system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause; generating, by a content management system, a shared folder backed workspace that provides an integrated environment for manipulating content items in a shared folder and communicating with authorized users of the shared folder; receiving, by the content management system, an e-mail message addressed to a workspace email list corresponding to the shared folder backed workspace, the e-mail message having a message body and an attached content item; storing, by the content management system, the attached content item in the shared folder; generating, by the content management system, a workspace graphical user interface that includes a message having a link to the stored content item in the shared folder; and presenting, at the workspace graphical user interface, a representation reflecting content of the stored content item without including a copy of the content item, the representation comprising a preview image of the stored content item that dynamically updates to reflect changes made to the stored content item. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
