There are lots of treasure in our cloud storage. Where are they exactly located?

Today ​

Find what we want on cloud storage is like looking a gold on a beach.

Go to cloud storage, click around for a bunch, download it, try to open. Hopefully the file is what your computer already support it. While for quite some of the time, they are just special binary format, a parquet file, a sas file, a sqlite database, a blender model, a solidworks design. We then need to find and install proper tool. After stuggling for a half hour, we finally made it.

Ideal Solution ​

If we think an ideal solution without any constraint, what could be possibly be?

We can open a cloud storage like normal tree. Click the one we want it. Then bomb, it just open.

We shall not care about what format it is. That's the system's responsibility. Isn't it?
