Wow I have to read this! For a freelance client of mine, I have open sourced React Table Library [0] with the focus on tree operations. They are handling a folder/file tree structure of 100 thousands nodes where it is possible to move folders/files, clone them, lazy load them on a top and nested level, etc. And all of it in the same table structure.

After I finished the project, I kinda knew why Google Drive only allows to display and modify on the same hierarchical level. There are so many constraints that you have to consider when implementing this in a nested view with many nodes.

Looks nice, when will it be completely headless?
