Systems and methods for automatically organizing files and folders

A system for organizing a plurality of files on a cloud file system, the system comprising:

• processor of the cloud file system configured to:
• identify the plurality of files on the cloud file system;
• identify features of the plurality of files, wherein the features of a file in the plurality of files include at least three selected from a group comprising file content, keywords in the file, file name, time of creation of the file, time of modification of the file, type of the file, a set of users with whom the file is shared over the cloud file system, folder depth of the file, and an origination of the file;
• and
• cluster the plurality of files into a plurality of groups, each group including a subset of the plurality of files, wherein the clustering is based on assessed similarity scores across each subset of the plurality of files;
• display an indication of the clustering to a user associated with the plurality of files;
• receive a user input from the user indicative of a request to add an additional file to the plurality of files on the cloud file system, wherein the request is to add the additional file to a requested folder on the cloud file system;
• select a suggested folder on the cloud file system based on one or more assessed similarity scores between the additional file and one or more files in the suggested folder;
• compare the requested folder to the suggested folder;
• repeat the receiving, the selecting, and the comparing a number of times;
• in response to determining that a number of times that the requested folder matches the suggested folder exceeds a predetermined percentage of the number of times, provide a recommendation to the user to add the additional file to the suggested folder;
• and
• determine whether the user accepts the recommendation.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for organizing a plurality of files on a cloud file system, the method comprising:

• identifying the plurality of files on the cloud file system;
• identifying features of the plurality of files, wherein the features of a file in the plurality of files include at least three selected from a group comprising file content, keywords in the file, file name, time of creation of the file, time of modification of the file, type of the file, a set of users with whom the file is shared over the cloud file system, folder depth of the file, and an origination of the file;
• clustering the plurality of files into a plurality of groups, each group including a subset of the plurality of files, wherein the clustering is based on assessed similarity scores across each subset of the plurality of files;
• outputting an indication of the clustering to a user associated with the plurality of files;
• receiving a user input from the user indicative of a request to add an additional file to the plurality of files on the cloud file system, wherein the request is to add the additional file to a requested folder on the cloud file system;
• selecting a suggested folder on the cloud file system based on one or more assessed similarity scores between the additional file and one or more files in the suggested folder;
• comparing the requested folder to the suggested folder;
• repeating the receiving, selecting, and comparing a number of times;
• in response to determining that a number of times that the requested folder matches the suggested folder exceeds a predetermined percentage of the number of times, providing a recommendation to the user to add the additional file to the suggested folder;
• and
• determining whether the user accepts the recommendation.
