1. A method of implementing metadata in a storage system of a cloud-based content-based management system, the method comprising:
- permitting a user to upload a file to a folder in the storage system;
requesting collaborators of the folder to provide metadata for the file when the collaborators access the folder;
wherein the user of the folder selects preferred metadata attributes of the metadata for the file;
further wherein the selected preferred metadata attributes are limited to global metadata attributes identified by an administrator;
wherein collaborators of the folder tag the file with metadata for one or more of the global metadata attributes identified by the administrator even if the one or more global metadata attributes are not selected as preferred metadata attributes by the user of the folder.

13. A system for implementing metadata in a cloud-based environment, the system comprising:
-
a metadata request module configured to prompt a user uploading a file to a folder in the cloud-based environment to provide metadata for selected attributes associated with the folder, a metadata tracker module configured to prompt a collaborator of the folder who accesses the folder to provide missing metadata for the selected attributes for files within the folder, wherein the selected attributes are limited to global attributes identified by an administrator; wherein collaborators of the folder tag the file with metadata for one or more of the global attributes identified by the administrator even if the one or more global attributes are not selected as preferred attributes. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A system, comprising:
-
means for permitting a user to upload a file to a folder to a cloud-based service; means for requesting collaborators of the folder to provide metadata for the file when the collaborators access the folder, wherein the user of the folder selects metadata attributes of the metadata for the file; further wherein the selected metadata attributes are limited to global metadata attributes identified by an administrator; wherein collaborators of the folder tag the file with metadata for the global metadata attributes identified by the administrator even if the one or more global metadata attributes are not included in the selected metadata attributes.
