Cloud Storage

SimpleIndex can be used with any cloud storage solution that can be accessed via Windows Explorer file paths.

Works with any Cloud Storage Service

Google Drive, Box, Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, Amazon S3, Apple iCloud, Zoho WorkDrive, and others can all be used.

Organize Your Cloud Storage Drives

SimpleIndex generates folders & filenames using a file naming schema to automatically organize files on your cloud storage into logical folders and meaningful filenames. This greatly improves the user experience when browsing and searching for documents.

Uploading disorganized files to the cloud just moves the clutter around. You can access the files from anywhere, but if you can't find exactly what you need when you need it the problem has not been solved at all! Using SimpleIndex to migrate your file shares to cloud storage ensures that everything is organized logically, tagged with the appropriate metadata, and full-text searchable, before they are lost among the terabytes of other files.

You can also re-organize files already in the cloud using SimpleIndex, or use it to retrieve files from the cloud and process them in a workflow or RPA bot.

Recommended Settings

Exporting directly to cloud storage can be slower, especially if large files are being appended to existing files or transferring over a slower Internet connection. When better performance is needed it is recommended that you configure the Output folder to be synced locally in your cloud storage app.

Support for shortcuts my be limited. For example, if your Google Drive path shows something like:

G:\.shortcut-targets-by-id\3eWdPT5fZHmSDFHU39wyA30DjeGICJ\Shortcut Name\

certain features may not work correctly. To work around this, add the shared folder to your personal drive account instead of accessing it via shortcut.
