FileShadow Provides Custom Tagging Capabilities for Files Stored in Vault

FileShadow, Inc. announces the addition of custom tagging capabilities, allowing users to organize files and photos stored in the company’s cloud vault by using custom search tags.

Users can select one file or as many files as they want to adjust. They can add new tags, or edit or remove any auto-generated tags that aren’t relevant to their files in the vault.

“One of the built-in features of FileShadow is an extensible metadata store. We’ve enhanced the system by allowing user editing of the metadata tags,” said Tyrone Pike, president and CEO, FileShadow. “With FileShadow, customers can collect all of their content, and fine-tune the metadata tags so they can efficiently locate their files.“

When a file is copied into the firm’s vault, the service automatically generates searchable metadata for each file, including location (GPS), OCR of PDFs and ML-generated tags for images. By using ML, the firm’s solution provides superior search capabilities, allowing to find files quickly.

For example, a picture of someone golfing might automatically generate tags such as golf, golf ball, golf club, golf course, professional golfer and sand wedge, even if those terms are not in the file name.

As a result of the automated tagging feature, users can find images related to their search term. With this company’s update, users can also adjust the terms associated with their files. In the example above, users could add the term ‘putter’ and delete ‘sand wedge,’ making their tags more relevant to content depicted in the image.

The company builds a metadata system for all files, regardless of their storage source. Sources include cloud storage (iCloud, Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe’s Lightroom solutions, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and OneDrive for Business) and local storage (macOS, Windows Desktops, Windows Virtual Desktops, Drobo network and DAS (NAS/DAS) devices ^(*)). The service provides a single, secure vault from which to search and access files.

The firm’s service is free of charge for up to 100GB of data. Subscriptions are available for more storage ($15/month for 1TB; $25/month for 2TB; each additional terabyte is $10/month).

Subscriptions for FileShadow for Virtual Desktops are available for $25/month for 2TB, and each additional terabyte is $10/month.

^(*) Supported Drobo NAS products include: 5N, 5N2, B810n; DAS Products Include: 5C, 5D/5Dt, 5D3 on Windows over USB and the 5C, 5D/5Dt, 5D3, 8D for Mac.
