## What is FileShadow?

FileShadow is a private, secure, vault in the cloud where you can keep your photos and files out of harms way, and still be able to find what you are looking for without spending hours searching through folders. 

Organizing your photos and files is a pain, and the only reason to go through that pain is you can find a certain photo or file later. FileShadow addresses the organizational goal by making ever photo and file searchable, so you don’t have to organize - just search.

FileShadow starts by making copies of your files from wherever they are hiding: 
  - cloud storage accounts
  - desktop computers
  - mobile devices
  - attachments in email accounts
 and making everything searchable in the process.

FileShadow’s search engine catalogs objects in photos, street address from geolocation, text in word documents, even hand writing in scanned PDF files, so when you want to find something, just tell FileShadow what you are looking for and it will be retrieved.

You even add custom metadata to make searching more accurate, all without ever changing the original file. 

Ever though about narrating a photo, PDF, or PowerPoint file? Not a problem, just record your voice, or someone else’s voice, and it will be added to the original file as an attachment. A transcript of the recording will be made automatically, and the recording is made searchable using the words spoken during the recording. 

Sharing photos and files is easy, send a link for an individual file or create a free gallery website that anyone can view or download files from. 

There are many more thing you can do, but I am tired of typing, so, give it a shot.


Available with web, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Requires iOS 15.0 or later.
