M-Files

Metadata-driven DMS that organises documents by what they are, not where they are stored.

Per UserHybrid

Overview

M-Files takes a fundamentally different approach to document management by organising content based on metadata rather than folder structures. This means users find documents by their properties — client, project, document type — rather than remembering which folder they saved to. M-Files connects to existing repositories (SharePoint, network drives, legacy DMS) and presents a unified view.
