1. A method for managing a plurality of discussion workspaces in a cloud-based collaboration service, comprising: generating, in the cloud-based collaboration service, the plurality of discussion workspaces for a plurality of workspaces, wherein the plurality of workspaces includes a first folder having one or more files, wherein the first folder includes a sub-folder having at least one file, the first folder and the sub-folder organized as a folder-file hierarchy, wherein the plurality of discussion workspaces includes a first discussion workspace that is associated with the first folder, the first discussion workspace maintaining communications relating to the one or more files in the first folder from at least one of a user of the cloud-based collaboration service or one or more collaborators of the user, wherein the first discussion workspace includes a second discussion workspace that is associated with the sub-folder of the first folder, the second discussion workspace to maintain communications relating to the sub-folder from the one or more collaborators and the user, wherein the first discussion workspace and the second discussion workspace are organized in the same folder-file hierarchy as the first folder and the sub-folder, receiving a request from a user to access communications relating to one or more of the plurality of workspaces; and generating, in response to the request, a user interface to display the communications relating to the one or more of the plurality of workspaces, wherein the user interface includes a workspace area to enable the user to select one of the plurality of workspaces displayed in the workspace area, wherein the user interface includes a discussion area that is configured to display the communications based on a level of engagement of the user in the communications, wherein generating the user interface further includes: receiving, from the user, a selection of the one of the plurality of workspaces displayed in the workspace area, in an event the user is engaged in a first quantity of communications relating to the plurality of workspaces, configuring the discussion area to include communications from the plurality of discussion workspaces, in an event the user is engaged in a second quantity of communications relating to the plurality of workspaces, which is larger than the first quantity, configuring the discussion area to (a) include communications from a discussion workspace that corresponds to the one of the plurality of workspaces selected by the user in the workspace area, and (b) exclude communications from other discussion workspaces of the plurality of discussion workspaces, further wherein collaborating on the one or more files includes receiving at least one action including edits on the one or more files via the cloud-based collaboration service.
