Introduction to data trees
A data tree is a hierarchical method for storing information. Data trees are collections of files and folders organised hierarchically.They can be visualised in several different ways despite the fact that their operating principle remains the same. Some visual examples are illustrated below for reference:

Spherebrowser visualises your data tree in the following way:

- Each folder is represented by a sphere.
- Each file is represented by a rectangular preview
- Each sub folder is displayed on the surface of its parent.

If a folder contains other folders, they are represented by other spheres that are shown on the surface of the 'parent' sphere.

- The folders on the surface of another folder bare called 'child' folders.
- Two folders that are on the same parent folder are called 'sibling' folders. Taking figure 2 above, folders A through E are sibling folders, and are child folders of the single folder at the top of that diagram
