Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein that facilitate file management on a computing device and/or across multiple computing devices. Actions of a user with respect to digital items on a computing device can be monitored and utilized to build a relationship table, wherein the relationship table comprises identities of digital items and data that describes relationships between particular digital items. Such a relationship table is analyzed to provide a user with information pertaining to relationships between digital items captured in the relationship table. Relationship tables from different devices can be merged to analyze relationships between digital items across devices.
