In this paper, we describe how to use Euler Diagrams to represent virtual directories. i.e. collection of files that are computed on demand and satisfy a number of constraints. We, then, briefly describe the state of VennFS project that is currently modified to include this new capability. In particular, we show a data structure designed to answer queries about a given Euler Diagram and its sets. The data structure EulerTree described here is based on the R-Tree (see [Pankaj K. Agarwal, Mark de Berg, Joachim Gudmundsson, Mikael Hammar and Herman J. Haverkort, Box-trees and R-trees with near-optimal query time, in: Symposium on Computational Geometry, 2001, pp. 124–133]), a data structure designed for answering range queries over a family of shapes in the 2-dimensional space
