Systems for managing operating on folders that comprise a large number of objects in a cloud-based collaboration platform. A cloud-based environment includes storage devices that store content objects accessible by collaborating users. The content objects are identified by one or more hierarchical path identifiers comprising a folder identifier corresponding to a logical grouping. The hierarchical path identifiers are stored in a relational database. Methods receive an operation command from a user to operate on the content objects associated with the logical grouping, after which a relational database search query is generated. Processing of the query returns a plurality of result sets corresponding to respective portions of the content objects associated with the logical grouping. The operation command is applied iteratively over the plurality of result sets, and the command is finalized after the last iteration. Collaborators can perform certain operations on content objects even while the iterations are in progress.
