Virtual root directory for organizations

A computing system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to:
• maintain a plurality of root directories at a content management system, the plurality of root directories corresponding to separate directory structures associated with an organization account at the content management system;
• mount the plurality of root directories corresponding to the separate directory structures under a top-level folder of an organization directory in a first user account and a second user account,
• wherein the top-level folder of the organization directory contains a subset of the plurality of root directories mounted therein and does not directly contain content items-level folder;
• and
• provide a view of the top-level folder of the organization directory in the first user account and the second user account, whereby the first user account and the second user account view the plurality of root directories under the top-level folder as if they existed in a common organization directory.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• maintain a plurality of root directories at a content management system, the plurality of root directories corresponding to separate directory structures associated with an organization account at the content management system;
• create a top-level folder of an organization directory on a client device having a content management system client application executing thereon, wherein the content management system client application has write permission to the top-level folder of the organization directory;
• mount the plurality of root directories corresponding to the separate directory structures under the top-level folder of the organization directory in a first user account and a second user account, wherein the top-level folder of the organization directory does not exist as a directory in the content management system;
• and
• provide a view of the top-level folder of the organization directory in the first user account and the second user account, whereby the first user account and the second user account view the plurality of root directories under the top-level folder as if they existed in a common organization directory.
