Techniques for sharing documents stored at a remote file storage server using short range wireless communication-enabled computing devices
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, at a first computing device including one or more processors, a request to share a document stored at a remote file storage server, the request including a document identifier for the document and a type of access for sharing the document;
establishing, at the first computing device, a short range wireless communication link with a second computing device associated with an intended recipient of the document;
requesting, from the first computing device, a recipient identifier for the intended recipient from the second computing device via the short range wireless communication link;
receiving, at the first computing device, the recipient identifier from the second computing device via the short range wireless communication link in response to the requesting;
associating, at the first computing device, the recipient identifier with the request; and
transmitting, from the first computing device, the request to the remote file storage server, wherein the request includes the recipient identifier and the type of access for sharing the document, and wherein the request causes the remote file storage server to provide the intended recipient with the type of access to the document via the second computing device.

Abstract
A computer-implemented technique can include receiving, at a first computing device including one or more processors, a request to share a document stored at a remote file storage server. The first computing device can establish a short range wireless communication link with a second computing device associated with an intended recipient of the document. The first computing device can obtain an identifier for the intended recipient from the second computing device using the short range wireless communication link. The first computing device can associate the identifier with the request and can then transmit the request to the remote file storage server. The request can cause the remote file storage server to provide the intended recipient with access to the document via the second computing device.

11. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by one or more processors of a first computing device, cause the first computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a request to share a document stored at a remote file storage server, the request including a document identifier for the document and a type of access for sharing the document; establishing a short range wireless communication link with a second computing device associated with an intended recipient of the document; requesting a recipient identifier for the intended recipient from the second computing device via the short range wireless communication link; receiving the recipient identifier from the second computing device via the short range wireless communication link in response to the requesting; associating the recipient identifier with the request; and transmitting the request to the remote file storage server, wherein the request includes the recipient identifier and the type of access for sharing the document, and wherein the request causes the remote file storage server to provide the intended recipient with the type of access to the document via the second computing device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
