Recognizing Cloud Content

摘要

Recognizing cloud content techniques are described herein. A designated storage location for cloud content corresponding to a service is registered locally at a device. Files stored in association with the registered storage location may be recognized as cloud content of the corresponding service. The recognized cloud content may be handled in various ways to customize the user experience and tailor interaction with cloud content. For example, icons or other visual identifiers may be used within device, operating system and/or application user interfaces to represent an association of files with a particular service based on recognition of the files as cloud content. Additionally, a registered storage location for a device may be employed to obtain relative paths to files that may be used to roam file activity lists between different devices.

1. A system comprising:
a computing device; and one or more processors configured to perform operations to handle recognized cloud content of the computing device including:
registering, via a designated data object, a top level path name for a local storage location of the computing device;associating files stored under the top level path name with a collaboration service;recognizing files stored under the top level path name as cloud content associated with the collaboration service;outputting indications for display, via one or more applications of the computing device, to reflect association of the recognized files with the collaboration service;tracking activities of the one or more applications of the computing device with the recognized files, the tracking using relative paths formed by removing the registered top level path name from absolute paths to the files in the local storage; androaming the activities performed by the one or more applications of the computing device with the recognized files for use by multiple devices to which the recognized files are synchronized using relative paths to reference the activities.
