Are you sure it's not "colocado" ("placed")?

will be placed

I may well be wrong (and I'm sure someone will point it out if I am), but I don't like "hang" in this context. So how about:
The file will be placed in the tree structure
Peer comment(s):

agree Ian Ferguson : You can't "hang" anything in this sort of tree!

agree Julia Bogdan Rollo (X) : the only thing I would change is tree structure to directory's tree structure

Thanks, but I don't think directory is necessary
agree Maria Karra : Absolutely. I like the option you give (placed); we could also say "will be attached to the tree ..."

"The file will be placed into the directory"

Just from context, "estructura de arbol" could mean "directory structure" or just "directory."
