1. A synchronized content management system comprising:
- one or more processors; and
memory having stored therein instructions which, when executed by said one or more processors, cause the synchronized content management system to;
store information regarding a plurality of file sharing links associated with the synchronized content management system, wherein the plurality of file sharing links provide access to files that are stored in the synchronized content management system; and
selectively display a listing of said plurality of file sharing links, wherein the listing displays;
in association with a first link, from the plurality of file sharing links, shared with a first link recipient from a first link sharer;
a first location of a first respective file referenced by the first link, the first location being at the synchronized content management system;
a first identification of the first link sharer who shared the first link with the first link recipient;
a second identification of the first link recipient; and
in association with a second link, from the plurality of file sharing links, shared by a second link sharer with the first link sharer;
a second location of a second respective file referenced by the second link, the second location being at the synchronization content management system;
a third identification of the second link sharer who shared the second link with the first link sharer; and

Abstract
A document management system that is adapted to allow users to share files or folders by: (1) creating a link to the files or folders; and (2) sharing the link with other users. In particular embodiments, the system is adapted to keep track of any links generated by, sent by, and/or received by a particular user. The system may display a listing of the links upon request by a user, so that the user may re-use or deactivate the links, or modify attributes of the links. Having a centralized listing of the links may be particularly advantageous in helping a user keep track of the files and folders that they have shared and received.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
generating a plurality of file set sharing links that are configured to allow a link sharer account to provide a link recipient account with viewing access to a linked file set when a respective link is activated, where files of the linked file set are stored in a synchronized content management system; capturing information regarding said plurality of generated file set sharing links; at least partially in response to a request from a user, displaying a list of file set sharing links associated with the user, said list comprising said plurality of generated file set sharing links and at least one received link that a link sharer shared with the user, wherein the list identifies a link recipient and a link sharer and; in association with at least one first link shared with a first link recipient from a first link sharer; a first location of a first respective file referenced by the first link; a first identification of the first link sharer who shared the first link with the first link recipient; a second identification of the first link recipient; and in association with a second link shared by a second link sharer with the first link sharer; a second location of a second respective file referenced by the second link; a third identification of the second link sharer who shared the second link with the first link sharer; and the first identification of the first link sharer. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
at least partially in response to receiving a request to share a file set, generating a file set sharing link, wherein said file set sharing link is configured to provide a first link recipient with at least access to a linked file set, where files of the linked file set are stored in a file sharing system; capturing information associated with said generated file set sharing link; capturing information associated with said first link recipient; associating said first link recipient information with said captured information associated with said file set sharing link; and at least partially in response to a request to view said information associated with said generated file set sharing link, displaying a list of file set sharing links, wherein the list comprises; in association with a first link shared with the first link recipient from a first link sharer; a first location of a first respective file referenced by the first link; a first identification of the first link sharer who shared the first link with the first link recipient; a second identification of the first link recipient; and in association with a second link shared by the first link recipient with a second link recipient; a second location of a second respective file referenced by the second link; the second identification of the first link recipient who shared the second link with the second link recipient; and a third identification of the second link recipient. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
