A method and system for intelligently organizing one or more groups of relevant files may include retrieving a user data signal including user-specific data, analyzing the user data signal to identify a parameter relating to file relevance, identifying one or more relevant files in a storage medium based on the parameter at least one of a user category property, a lifecycle stage property, a relevant activity property, or an activity level property of one or more files in the storage medium, organizing the one or more relevant file into the one or more groups of relevant files, and providing for display data relating to the one or more groups of relevant files.

A method and system for intelligently ranking search results may include receiving a search request containing one or more terms for performing a search, providing the one or more terms for conducting a search, and receiving a search results index containing a list of a plurality of documents, each of the plurality of documents corresponding to one of the one or more terms or to one or more other terms associated with the at least one of the one or more terms. Once the search results index is received, the method and system may access a plurality of properties associated with at least one of the plurality of documents, the plurality of properties including a user category associated with the at least one of the plurality of documents, calculating a relevance score for the at least one of the plurality of documents based on at least one of the plurality of properties, selecting a subset of the plurality of documents for presenting to a user based at least on the calculated relevance score, and providing the subset of plurality of documents for presenting to the user.
