  • registering a top level path name for a local storage location on the computing device;

    associating user files stored under the top level path name with a collaboration service;

    detecting the files stored locally under the top level path name;

    recognizing the detected files as cloud content associated with the collaboration service;

    tracking activities of one or more applications of the computing device with the recognized files, the tracking using relative paths formed by removing the registered to level path name from absolute paths to the files in the local storage; and

    outputting indications for display via the one or more applications of the computing device to reflect association of the recognized files with the collaboration service, the indications providing one or more visual identifiers distinguishing files associated with the collaboration service from other content not associated with the collaboration service.
