Adobe MAX: FileShadow Publish Providing Users With Content-Publishing Capabilities for Files Stored in FileShadow Vault

At Adobe MAX, FileShadow, Inc. announces FileShadow Publish – a feature that allows users to publish collections of files from their FileShadow cloud vault by generating shareable links.

Publish is a simple and secure way for teams, professionals and individuals to curate, store and share cloud content.

With Publish, users can share files with anyone, including people without FileShadow accounts, by sending a link to any file, folder or collection. Users simply search, select and build the results into a collection that generates a unique shareable URL.

Publish provides copyright protection to prevent unauthorized redistribution of users’ shared files. The content owner is in complete control of who views, downloads and edits shared collections.

“FileShadow is expanding from a file-aggregation and archiving model to an intuitive, secure content aggregation and publishing platform, allowing users to increase productivity through secure internal and external collaboration by publishing easily shared links,” said Tyrone Pike, president and CEO, FileShadow.

The company will continue to build a metadata system for all files, regardless of their storage source, along with enhancing the sharing and collaboration model of its Publish system. The service provides a single, secure vault from which to search and access files by aggregating cloud storage accounts such as iCloud, Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe’s Lightroom solutions, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and OneDrive for Business; local storage (macOS, Windows Desktops, Windows Virtual Desktops); and network and DAS (NAS/DAS) devices.

When a file is copied into the 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 solution provides search capabilities, allowing the user to find files quickly.

As a result of the automated tagging feature, users can find images related to their search term. In a recent update that provides custom tagging capabilities, users can adjust the terms associated with their files.

The FileShadow 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.
