QlikView: Emulate File Explorer (HierarchyBelongsTo?)

We have files on a server (research documents, but for the sake of an easy example - let's suppose they are .gif files).  

I want our users to be able to use QlikView to navigate through a folder structure to find the files they need and be able to download them.   I already have a utility that is fully functional (searching, sorting, download, etc.) what I want to add is the folder structure in a filter using tree view.

 

If my Data Set looks like:

FileID (hash) FilePath FileName
asdf34hsdf%87^%tyh /Root/grandparent/parentfolder01/path01/ myFileName01.gif
asdfkjh3876%56twe  /Root/grandparent/parentfolder02/path02/ myFileName02.gif
ashsdfhjjh^^%67  /Root/grandparent/parentfolder02/path02/ myFileName03.gif
sdfjlkjlk^&76uujkgh  /Root/grandparent/parentfolder01/ myFileName_01.gif
jlkasdfjksdf78%$%^Fh  /Root/grandparent/ my__File__Name__01.gif

 

How do I get this into a treeview in such a way that when I click on "ParentFolder01" I see everything at or below that folder level?   I think this is a "HierarchyBelongsTo" exercise, but I'm not sure how to configure my data set.
