Application: Storing and restoring user account data backups across online platforms (Patent ID: US20240193043A1)
Dropbox Inc. has filed a patent for systems, methods, and computer-readable media that focus on generating, managing, and restoring data backups for user account data from third-party systems. The disclosed systems create data backups within a content management system to store user account data from various third-party systems like social media, photo libraries, and video sharing platforms. These systems can detect changes in the data from third-party systems and update the stored data backups accordingly. The method involves receiving authorization to access data from a third-party system, transferring the data to the content management system, detecting modifications, and generating updated data instances to reflect these changes.
The patent claims outline a method and system for establishing data transfers, detecting modifications, and managing data instances within the content management system. The system utilizes an application programming interface for data transfers, determines modifications based on a threshold amount of data changes, and can restore data back to the third-party system from the updated data instance. Additionally, the system provides an account backup interface for user interaction, content distribution to other third-party systems, and updating data based on user interactions. The non-transitory computer-readable medium contains instructions for executing these processes, including receiving authorization, establishing data transfers, detecting modifications, and providing interfaces for managing data instances across multiple user accounts and third-party systems.
