Method and system for sharing documents between on-demand services

1. A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code adapted to be executed to cause a computer to implement a method for sharing documents and content between on-demand services, the method comprising:

sending from a first on-demand service to a user machine a link that opens a webpage showing:

at least content associated with the user including content stored at a second on-demand service, the second on-demand service requiring a login unique to the second on-demand service, and

an option to make the content stored at the second on-demand service viewable by multiple users of the first on-demand service;

receiving a selection by the user of the option to make the content stored at the second on-demand service viewable by the multiple users of the first on-demand service,

receiving at the first on-demand service, from the user machine, a user request to view a list of content that is viewable by the multiple users of the first on-demand service, the list of content including at least content that is stored at the first on-demand service and the content stored at the second on-demand service that was made viewable by the user based on the received selection; and

sending from the first on-demand service the list of content, including at least the content that is stored at the first on-demand service, and the content that is stored at the second on-demand service.

2. The computer program product of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a request to edit content in the list, the content requested being stored at the second on-demand service;

in response opening a connection to the second on-demand service, opening the content; and

allowing the user to edit the content.

3. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first on-demand service and the second on-demand service are multi-tenant services.

4. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the first multi-tenant service includes a multi-tenant database.

5. The computer program product of claim 1 , further comprising establishing a link within the first on-demand service that points to the content that is stored at the second on-demand service in response to the selection by the user of the option to make the content located at the second on-demand service viewable by the multiple users of the first on-demand service.

6. The computer program product of claim 5 , wherein the link is placed in a web page of the first on-demand service.

7. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein the link is used for accessing the content that is stored at the second on-demand service.

8. The computer program product of claim 5 , wherein the user of the first on-demand service is prompted for login information prior to granting the user access to the content that is stored at the second on-demand service.

9. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the computer program product is operable such that information used to perform the login unique to the second on-demand service is provided to the second on-demand service prior to receiving the user request from the user machine at the first on-demand service.

10. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein selection by the user of the option to make the content located at the second on-demand service viewable by the multiple users of the first on-demand service causes the content to be displayed in a work space that is viewable by multiple users of the first on-demand service.

11. A method for sharing documents and content between on-demand services comprising:

utilizing a hardware processor, sending from a first on-demand service to a user machine a link that opens a webpage showing:

at least content associated with the user including content stored at a second on-demand service, the second on-demand service requiring a login unique to the second on-demand service, and

an option to make the content stored at the second on-demand service viewable by multiple users of the first on-demand service;

receiving a selection by the user of the option to make the content stored at the second on-demand service viewable by the multiple users of the first on-demand service,

receiving at the first on-demand service, from the user machine, a user request to view a list of content that is viewable by the multiple users of the first on-demand service, the list of content including at least content that is stored at the first on-demand service and the content stored at the second on-demand service that was made viewable by the user based on the received selection; and

sending from the first on-demand service the list of content, including at least the content that is stored at the first on-demand service, and the content that is stored at the second on-demand service receiving, at a machine resident, first on-demand service, from a user machine, a user request to view a list of content that is viewable by multiple users of the first on-demand service.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving a request to edit content in the list, the content requested being stored at the second on-demand service;

in response, opening a connection to the second on-demand service, opening the content; and

allowing the user to edit the content.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first on-demand service and the second on-demand service are multi-tenant services.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first multi-tenant service includes a multi-tenant database.

15. A system for sharing documents and content between on-demand services, the system comprising:

a host system having a hardware processor, volatile memory, and non-volatile memory;

the non-volatile memory including at least one machine readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions which when executed by the hardware processor causes the hardware processor to implement a method comprising:

sending from a first on-demand service to a user machine a link that opens a webpage showing:

at least content associated with the user including content stored at a second on-demand service, the second on-demand service requiring a login unique to the second on-demand service, and

an option to make the content stored at the second on-demand service viewable by multiple users of the first on-demand service;

receiving a selection by the user of the option to make the content stored at the second on-demand service viewable by the multiple users of the first on-demand service,

receiving at the first on-demand service, from the user machine, a user request to view a list of content that is viewable by the multiple users of the first on-demand service, the list of content including at least content that is stored at the first on-demand service and the content stored at the second on-demand service that was made viewable by the user based on the received selection; and

sending from the first on-demand service the list of content, including at least the content that is stored at the first on-demand service, and the content that is stored at the second on-demand service.

16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving a request to edit content in the list, the content requested being stored at the second on-demand service;

in response opening a connection to the second on-demand service, opening the content; and

allowing the user to edit the content.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein at least one of the first on-demand service and the second on-demand service are multi-tenant services.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first multi-tenant service includes a multi-tenant database.
