METADATA ENABLED THIRD-PARTY APPLICATION ACCESS OF CONTENT AT A CLOUD-BASED PLATFORM VIA A NATIVE CLIENT TO THE CLOUD-BASED PLATFORM

摘要

Techniques are disclosed for methods, architectures and security mechanisms for a third-party application to access content in a cloud-based platform. In one embodiment, a method includes, receiving, at the third-party application, metadata that identifies the file. The method further includes transmitting the metadata to a server which is associated with the third-party application.
