Sheesh, organization and hierarchy are not the problems with file systems. It's the APIs and the network awareness. Can someone name a network filesystem that doesn't suck horribly in some way? Samba? NFS? CephFS? GlusterFS? They all have some glaring problem that holds them back.
We need storage that works everywhere and that doesn't suck. DropBox, et al, tries to make it happen but they're held back by mediating everything through the filesystem layer. Traditional filesystem concepts aren't going to make that happen.
