Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for creating at least one file associated with an application using a customizable list of storage locations. The customizable list of storage locations may be generated based on one or more parameters associated with the application. A selection of a file command for creating the at least one file associated with the application may be received within the application. A trigger associated with the at least one file may be detected. The at least one file may be automatically created to a storage location from the customizable list of storage locations in response to detecting the trigger associated with the at least one file.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

memory encoding computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method for creating at least one file associated with an application using a customizable list of storage locations, the method comprising;

generating the customizable list of storage locations based on one or more parameters associated with the application;

receiving, within the application, a selection of a file command for creating the at least one file associated with the application;

detecting a trigger associated with the at least one file;

in response to detecting the trigger associated with the at least one file, automatically creating the at least one file to a storage location from the customizable list of storage locations.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the customizable list of storage locations is expandable and collapsible.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more parameters associated with the application include at least an account identifier, a device type, and a storage location frequency.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the account identifier indicates a type of account used to access the application.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the trigger includes at least one of editing the at least one file, renaming the at least one file, and sharing the at least one file.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the customizable list of storage locations includes at least one of predefined local storage locations and predefined server storage locations.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the customizable list of storage locations includes at least one of customized local storage locations and customized server storage locations.

8. The system of claim 1, further comprising automatically assigning a name to the at least one created file.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the file command is a new file command.

10. The system of claim 1, further comprising in response to receiving the selection of the file command, displaying the customizable list of storage locations within the application.

11. The system of claim 1, further comprising setting a storage location from the customizable list of storage locations as a default storage location.

12. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

memory encoding computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method for providing a customizable list of storage locations, the method comprising;

determining one or more parameters associated with an application;

generating the customizable list of storage locations based on the one or more parameters associated with the application;

receiving, within the application, a selection of a file command for creating at least one file associated with the application; and

in response to receiving the selection of the file command, displaying the customizable list of storage locations within the application.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the customizable list of storage locations includes a default storage location.

14. The system of claim 12, further comprising detecting a trigger associated with the at least one file.

15. The system of claim 14, further comprising in response to detecting the trigger associated with the at least one file, automatically creating the at least one file to a storage location from the customizable list of storage locations.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the one or more parameters associated with the application include at least an account identifier, a device type, and a storage location frequency.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein the trigger includes at least one of editing the at least one file, renaming the at least one file, and sharing the at least one file.

18. A method for creating at least one file associated with an application using a customizable list of storage locations including at least one processor, and memory encoding computer executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform the method, the method comprising:

determining one or more parameters associated with an application;

generating the customizable list of storage locations based on the one or more parameters associated with the application;

setting a storage location from the customizable list of storage locations as a default storage location;

detecting a trigger associated with at least one file associated with the application;

in response to detecting the trigger associated with the at least one file, automatically creating the at least one file to the default storage location.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising receiving, within the application, a selection of a file command for creating at least one file associated with the application.

20. The method of claim 19, further comprising in response to receiving the selection of the file command, displaying the customizable list of storage locations within the application.
