Automatic file creation and location selection standardization

A system for automatic file creation and location selection standardization comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations to:
• receive an electronic file storage structure configuration for an application, the electronic file storage structure configuration including a file directory hierarchy;
• receive an electronic file configuration for the application, the electronic file configuration including a file name mask that defines a required prefix for file names;
• train a configuration prediction machine learning model using the electronic file storage structure configuration, the electronic file configuration, and application data, the application data including user selection patterns for file storage locations and file configuration options across multiple file creation instances for a plurality of users;
• obtain user activity data for a user activity initiated using the application, the user activity including initiating a new file creation action within the application;
• evaluate features extracted from the user activity data using the configuration prediction machine learning model to output a predicted file storage structure configuration and a predicted file configuration;
• generate a configuration user interface using the predicted file storage structure configuration and the predicted file configuration by automatically populating a file name field with the file name mask from the predicted file configuration as a non-editable prefix;
• automatically populate a file location field with a file storage location from the predicted file storage structure configuration;
• and
• present the configuration user interface to a user, the configuration user interface including a set of user interface controls for completing the user activity.
