A searchable, browseable meta-index of all my disparate cloud and local, mounted and unmounted file repositories is certainly interesting and has been a bit of a holy grail for some time. Digital Asset Management is nothing new, but it is not a category currently flush with options. Things like Portfolio and <waves hands> Adobe’s tangle of things offer a lot of this, with less emphasis on cloud repositories and more emphasis on workflow and metadata. These days I would have to consider yet another cloud-dependent service very carefully. Self-hosted/on-premises could be an absolute requirement, considering the potential sensitivity of “all files, including local and offline.” If accounts are required, I would want integration with existing identity management through OIDC or SAML (which, you know, does what this does but for accounts). I would also be looking at continuity facilities… if I build workflows around this and it becomes an essential single pane of glass over all my files, I’ll want to be confident in its availability. Keep at it. Nobody has solved all this yet. Good luck!
