Abstract
Technologies are described for managing metadata associated with external content. For example metadata can be obtained that describes content stored on external systems. The metadata can be obtained without locally storing the content items themselves. For example, the metadata can be retrieved from the external systems while the external content continues to be stored on the external systems. The metadata can also include indications of the actions that can be performed in relation to the external content. For example, actions can be obtained (e.g., locally determined and/or obtained from the external systems) and added to the metadata. The metadata can be stored and used locally. For example, the metadata can be used to locally perform the actions in relation to the external content. The metadata can also be used to locally initiate actions that are then carried out in the external systems.
