1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
identifying, by a computing system, a user account and content items associated with the user account;
generating, by the computing system, a graphical user interface of a default view of a folder associated with the user account, the default view comprising a first plurality of content items associated with the folder of the user account, wherein the default view is representative of an underlying hierarchical structure of the content items associated with the folder of the user account, and wherein the default view does not include at least one first content item associated with the folder of the user account, and wherein the generating comprises generating a first set of graphical representations of each content item in the first plurality of content items for display via the default view;
receiving, by the computing system, a request to transition from the default view of the folder to a modified view of the folder;
responsive to the receiving, generating, by the computing system, an updated graphical user interface of the modified view, the generating comprising:
ranking, by the computing system, each of the content items associated with the folder of the user account based on a predicted likelihood of an interaction with each particular content item, wherein the ranking is performed based at least on past activity of the user account,
identifying, by the computing system, a second plurality of content items associated with the folder of the user account for inclusion in the modified view based on the ranking, the second plurality of content items comprising the at least one first content item that is not one of the first plurality of content items shown in the default view and a third content item that is one of the first plurality of content items shown in the default view, and wherein the second plurality of content items does not include at least one second content item that is one of the first plurality of content items shown in the default view, and
generating, by the computing system, a second set of graphical representations of each content item in the second plurality of content items for display via the updated graphical user interface, wherein the modified view maintains the underlying hierarchical structure of the content items associated with the user account; and
providing, by the computing system, the updated graphical user interface comprising the modified view to a device associated with the user account for display.
