Abstract

The described systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media manage pooled collections of content items in a content management system. An example system can receive, from a user device, content uploaded to an account at a synchronized online content management system, and cluster some of the content as a collection. The system can receive, from a user, a request to share the collection with a second user having a second account at the content management system. In response to the request, content management system generates a pooled collection from the collection. The system can also transmit an invitation to the second user to join the pooled collection, and, upon acceptance, link the pooled collection to the second user account so that the first user and the second user have access to the persistent pooled collection and have permission to contribute content to the pooled collection.
