Storage organization system with associated storage utilization values

Abstract

In some embodiments, a method can involve storing a database containing information about content items associated with a user account on a content management system, the information identifying a storage organization of the content items and respective data sizes of the content items. The method can involve generating, based on the information, a tree structure including a plurality of nodes representing the content items and depicting the storage organization of the content items, the plurality of nodes identifying storage utilization values of the content items being based on their respective data sizes. The method can involve storing the tree structure on memory and, in response to an input, determining, from the tree structure, the storage organization of the content items and storage utilization values. The method can further involve displaying the content items and storage utilization values on a user interface according to the storage organization of the content items.
