EMAIL INTEGRATION WITH SHARED FOLDER BASED INTEGRATED WORKSPACES
FIG2 is a block diagram of an example system for providing shared folder backed integrated workspaces
FIG2 is a block diagram of an example system 200 for providing shared folder backed integrated workspaces. For example, system 200 can correspond to system 100 described above. A user of client device 210 (e.g., 102i) can create an account with content management system 106. The user can create shared folder 214 associated with content management system 106 on client device 210. When shared folder 214 is created on client device 210, a corresponding shared folder 234 can be created on server device 230 of content management system 106. The user of client device 210 can share shared folder 214 with a user of client device 240 (e.g., 102j). Once shared folder 214 is shared with the user of client device 240, a corresponding shared folder 244 can be created on client device 240. As described above, content management system 106 can synchronize shared folders 214, 234 and 244 so that content items added, modified, or deleted on one of the shared folders (e.g., shared folder 244) are correspondingly added, modified, or deleted in the corresponding shared folders (e.g., shared folders 214, 234) on other devices.

['1. A method comprising: generating, by an online content management system, a workspace graphical user interface representing a shared folder backed workspace that provides an integrated environment for manipulating content items in the shared folder and communicating with the authorized users of the shared folder, the workspace interface including representations of content items stored in the online shared folder and a message stream that includes messages generated by the authorized users of the shared folder; assigning a workspace email address to the shared folder; obtaining, by the online content management system, an email message addressed to the workspace email address from an email service of an authorized user of the workspace; and posting at least a portion of the email message as a new workspace message in the message stream.']
