Claim 16:
17. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
generating, by a computing system, a graphical user interface of a default view of a folder associated with a 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 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 receiving the request, generating, by the computing system, an updated graphical user interface of the modified view, the generating comprising:
identifying a second plurality of content items based on a predicted likelihood of an interaction with each content item, 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 a second set of graphical representations of each content item in the second plurality of content items for display via the modified view of the updated graphical user interface, wherein the modified view maintains the underlying hierarchical structure of the content items;

receiving, by the computing system, a second request to transition from the modified view to a radial representation of the second plurality of content items represented in the modified view;
generating, by the computing system, the radial representation of the second plurality of content items represented by the modified view based on the underlying hierarchical structure of the content items; and
providing, by the computing system, the radial representation to the user.
