Abstract
A method may comprise monitoring files (files, folders, documents of any type) to be sent to a remote storage to identify those that belong to selected file types and extracting metadata from those that belong to the selected file type(s), which may then be transcoded. Identifiers of the transcoded files and corresponding extracted metadata may be sent to a storage database. The transcoded files may be sent to be stored in the remote storage such that, upon receiving a file request and at least one criterion, the remote storage searches the database to find identifier(s) of the transcoded file(s) whose extracted metadata satisfies the criterion. Responsive to the received file request, one or more transcoded files may be made available whose identifier(s) were found during the search of the database. Alternatively or in addition, links to the transcoded files that correspond to found identifier(s) may be made available.
