Prioritizing structural operations and distributing changes in a synced online content management system

A computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to:

• receive, from a first client device, a first structural operation for a particular content item and an account within a synced online content management system;
• receive, from a second client device, a competing structural operation for the particular content item and the account;
• prioritize the first structural operation from the first client device over the competing structural operation from the second client device based on at least one predetermined factor;
• and
• execute the prioritized structural operation for the particular content item and the account.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory containing processor-executable structural operations that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• receive, from a first client device, a first structural operation for a particular content item and an account within a synced online content management system;
• receive, from a second client device, a competing structural operation for the particular content item and the account;
• prioritize, by a processor, the first structural operation from the first client device over the competing structural operation from the second client device based on at least one predetermined factor;
• and
• execute the prioritized structural operation for the particular content item and the account.
