At the moment the menu items for storage types and storage data are both under the top level menu item structure. but semantically the menu item storage data is better be suited for the top level menu item content imho - it contains data/content instead of providing/defining structure. how about put the storage data in content and add a fifth tab next to content, comments, files and media tabs while keeping the menu item storage types in structure where its appropriate place is?

I will confess that I wasn't sure about this change. While it's true that the entities created by this module are content, I would say that typically they're likely to be managed more often through associated entities, but maybe I'm biased by a particular use case I have in mind.

It's true that the interfaces for Content (nodes) and Media are under the Content menu, but taxonomy terms are accessed through the Structure menu.

Anyway, I incorporated this change into the work in #3207073: Provide a filter option for storage entities (and perhaps a selection of actions).

Yep you are probably right that they will be managed in many cases through associated content entities. but nevertheless semantically they are still content so after moving the storage data menu item to the content top level menu item things look way more consistent and are not scattered across top level menu items anymore :) thank you!

p.s. its true that taxonomies could be found in the structure menu but those vocabularies and its terms are used for structuring purposes of content so i consider them semantically in the right place.
