Device pinning capability for enterprise cloud service and storage accounts
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a login request from a device to synchronize the device with a cloud-based service,processing the login request to identify a user account of multiple user accounts associated with an enterprise,wherein the cloud-based service enables a collaboration platform that hosts multiple user accounts associated with the enterprise;
automatically determining if a number of devices that the user account is allowed to use for content synchronization has been reached responsive to identifying the user account;
responsive to determining that the number of devices that the user is allowed to use for content synchronization has not been reached, automatically registering the device, andallowing synchronization of the device with the cloud-based service.

Abstract
Device pinning capabilities for cloud-based services and/or storage accounts are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for authorizing synchronization of a synchronization client on a device with content associated with an account in the cloud-based service, responsive to determining that the device is on a list of devices that are authorized, and synchronizing the synchronization client on the device with the content associated with the account such that the content is also locally available for access on the device. The list of devices can be specific to and associated with devices for a user in the account and can be limited to an allowable number of devices for the account or a user associated with the account.

19. A system, comprising:
-
one or more processing units; a memory unit having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing units, causes the system to; track numbers of devices allowable for synchronization across accounts in an online collaboration platform; automatically grant access to synchronization of a device with an account in response to determining that the device is authorized for the account, wherein granting the access includes automatically determining if a number of devices that the user account is allowed to use for content synchronization has been reached and, responsive to determining that the number of devices that the user is allowed to use for content synchronization has not been reached, automatically granting the device with access to synchronization; wherein, the collaboration platform hosts multiple accounts associated with an enterprise. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes a system to:
-
receive a login request from a device to synchronize the device with a cloud-based service, process the login request to identify a user account of multiple user accounts associated with an enterprise, wherein the cloud-based service enables a collaboration platform that hosts multiple user accounts associated with the enterprise; automatically determine if a number of devices that the user account is allowed to use for content synchronization has been reached responsive to identifying the user account; responsive to determining that the number of devices that the user is allowed to use for content synchronization has not been reached, automatically register the device, and allow synchronization of the device with the cloud-based service. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)
