Abstract

Described herein is a system and method for suggesting other user(s) with whom to share an electronic file. During editing of the electronic file, an intent of a user to share the electronic file can be inferred. For each of a plurality of other users, a probability indicative of a likelihood that the user would like to share the electronic file with the particular other user is calculated. Based upon the calculated probabilities, at least one other user to suggest to the user for sharing of the electronic file is identified. Information regarding the identified at least one other user is displayed. Based upon a user selection of another user to share the electronic file with, an algorithm used to calculate the probabilities can be updated.
