1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining, for folders associated with a user account of a content management system, a file organization score based in part on a folder hierarchy structure for the folders, the file organization score indicating file organizational patterns associated with content items included within the folders;
determining, based on the file organization score, that the folder hierarchy structure indicates a disorganized storage pattern corresponding to the content items included within the folders associated with the user account;
based on the file organization score indicating the disorganized storage pattern, providing, for display within a user interface on a client device, a free flow element selectable to transition from a folder hierarchy view comprising the folder hierarchy structure to a free flow view comprising a non-hierarchical organizational structure; and
based on receiving an indication of a selection of the free flow element, transitioning from providing the folder hierarchy view to providing the free flow view, the free flow view depicting graphical representations of the content items arranged according to one or more content features associated with the content items.
