1. A method for updating file objects based on modifications to file representations of data entities, said method comprising: generating a file representation of a data entity in a storage system; generating a first object representation of the data entity in the storage system; generating a first object namespace redirector that includes a pointer to the first object representation; generating a file namespace redirector that includes a pointer to the file representation and a pointer to the first object namespace redirector; and if the file representation has been modified, copying data content of the modified file representation to a second object representation; generating a second object namespace redirector that includes a pointer to the second object representation; and modifying the first object namespace redirector pointer to point to the second object namespace redirector.
