FileShadow,
Inc. today announces the addition of custom tagging capabilities,
allowing users to organize files and photos stored in their FileShadow
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 of 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 FileShadow vault, the service automatically
generates searchable metadata for each file, including location (GPS),
optical character recognition (OCR) of PDFs and machine learning
(ML)-generated tags for images. By using machine learning, FileShadow
provides superior search capabilities, allowing the user 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 quickly find
images related to their search term. With this new FileShadow 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.
FileShadow
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 direct attached storage
(NAS/DAS) devices). The service provides a single, secure vault from
which to search and access files.
The
FileShadow Service is free of charge for up to 100 GB of data.
Subscriptions are available for more storage ($15/month for 1 TB;
$25/month for 2 TB; each additional terabyte is $10/month).
Subscriptions for FileShadow for Virtual Desktops are available for
$25/month for 2 TB, and each additional terabyte is $10/month.
