Team folder conversion and management

A method enabling team folder creation, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing device, from a client device associated with a first user, a request to create a team folder from a folder associated with the first user, wherein the request indicates a requested storage quota to associate with the team folder from a team folder storage pool;
• determining, by the computing device, whether the requested storage quota is below a threshold amount corresponding to a profile for team folder creation associated with the first user;
• and one of:
• based at least in part on determining that the requested storage quota is below the threshold amount, creating, by the computing device, a shared file system for the team folder, and allocating a quantity of storage from the team folder storage pool to the shared file system based on the requested storage quota;
• or
• based at least in part on determining that the requested storage quota exceeds the threshold amount, generating a communication to an administrator computing device to ask approval for creation of the team folder.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, program the one or more processors to:

• receive, from a client device associated with a first user, a request to create a team folder from a folder associated with the first user, wherein the request indicates a requested storage quota to associate with the team folder from a team folder storage pool;
• determine whether the requested storage quota is below a threshold amount corresponding to a profile for team folder creation associated with the first user;
• and one of:
• based at least in part on determining that the requested storage quota is below the threshold amount, creating, by the computing device, a shared file system for the team folder, and allocating a quantity of storage from the team folder storage pool to the shared file system based on the requested storage quota;
• or
• based at least in part on determining that the requested storage quota exceeds the threshold amount, generating a communication to an administrator computing device to ask approval for creation of the team folder.
