Zope objects are stored in the Zope object database.  As a result, an
approach where users have their resources in the server's hard disk
(e.g., ~user/zope) won't work (without some calisthenics)...

Zope has the notion of folders which are close analogs of directories.
It's likely that your users might never know their stuff isn't on the
filesystem but rather in the ZODB (until, that is, you Undo their
delete!  :^)
