<span class="" style="font-size:14.666666984558105px">Abstract: In this dissertation, we investigate file collections in personal cloud storage and design semi-automated tools to support file management in that setting. We do so in three main investigations.
In the first, we examine research participants’ perceptions of file pairs in their Google Drive accounts. In the second, we conduct two online user studies asking participants to organize their Google Drive accounts in order to investigate real-time file management
and evaluate the tool we developed to assist file management, KondoCloud. In the last, we proposed and evaluated a new format for summarizing groups of file management recommendations. Throughout our investigations, we find that developing more complex support
for file management is generally feasible. We conclude by discussing the implications for future designs of file management tools.</span><br class="" style="font-size:14.666666984558105px">
