Overview
Cloud Grep is a PHP-based file management and collaboration application designed for desktop use in professional environments. It combines file organization with revision history, workflow statuses, activity tracking and customizable folders.
Users can upload new file versions while retaining previous revisions and adding descriptions to changes. Notes and comments can be attached to files, while important notes can be highlighted in the activity feed. Workflow statuses help organize work as in progress, pending review or completed.
The application includes specialized tools such as a WebDAV server for connecting storage as a network drive, a Monaco code editor with syntax highlighting, and a WebGL-based viewer for supported 3D model formats. It also provides AES-256 file encryption for its .kvcrypt format and user activity logging.
A professional installation wizard guides users through server checks, database configuration and administrator account creation. Cloud Grep is intended for desktop workflows and is not presented by the vendor as a mobile-first file management interface.
Review the deployment and security instructions before installation, particularly directory permissions and removal of the installation folder after setup.
