User experience and user flows for third-party application recommendation in cloud storage systems

摘要

A cloud computing system identifies when to recommend applications to a user and what recommendations to make. When the user makes a request related to the applications associated with the user, the cloud computing system identifies the subject of the request. The cloud computing system identifies criteria for recommending applications based on the subject, scores applications available to the user based on the identified criteria, and filters applications based on their scores to recommend applications to the user.
