IMHO, the "backend" should return a notebook "document name" ( not the one store in the json metadata)
and a UUID when asked to "list" notebook

The actual content of the notebook when asked. 

The actual "mapping" filesystem/url would be using uuid that are generated from hmac and path, so unique, and persistent.
This also work for database
 | uuid | document_name | content |

For the UI, 
I can see "breadcrumbs" to navigate in parents directory. 
We could also do something like github, where you show both ipynb and folder and you can enter a folder. 

This would require some "custom" data structure that could be exchange from dashboard and backend.
