Your Files, Connected to Your Business.
Stop isolating your documents in Google Drive or Dropbox. Aeion Files is an enterprise-grade document management platform that lives natively inside your OS — shared drives, file versioning, WebDAV + WOPI Office editing, AI auto-tagging via the Autonomous Librarian Agent, semantic vector search, DLP scanning for PII / PCI / secrets, and bring-your-own storage backend (S3, R2, GCS, Azure, MinIO, local).
A Radically Intelligent Drive
Bring Your Own Storage
Don't pay exorbitant SaaS markup for storage. Configure Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, on-prem MinIO, or local disk. Aeion is the intelligent metadata + access layer; the bytes live wherever you choose.
Autonomous Librarian Agent
Stop losing documents. Upon upload, Aeion Files extracts text via OCR/PDF parsing, generates contextual tags, extracts entities (companies, dates, dollar amounts), and suggests the correct destination folder based on how similar content has been organized before.
DLP & Malware Scanning
Every upload passes through an automated DLP pipeline. ClamAV malware scan + regex engines for exposed PII (SSNs), PCI (credit cards), API keys, and AWS access keys. Violations auto-quarantined to a separate bucket with admin notification.
WebDAV & WOPI
Mount your Aeion Drive directly as a network drive on Windows, macOS, or Linux via WebDAV. Edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files in-browser via WOPI integration (Collabora or ONLYOFFICE) — no download/re-upload cycle.
Semantic Vector Search
Aeion Files generates a semantic embedding for every text-bearing file. Search by *concept* — "Q3 contracts with overdue payment terms" — not just filename or full-text match.
Deep Module Connectivity
A signed contract isn't just a file in a folder. It's bidirectionally linked to a CRM Deal, a Fulfillment Order, a Recruit Candidate, or an Employee Record. The file appears on both surfaces.
What Ships in Aeion Files
Version History & Restore
Every save is kept, not just the latest one — restore any prior version with one click, diff between any two versions to see exactly what changed, and let versions outside your retention window clean themselves up instead of piling up forever.
Multi-Backend Storage
One storage abstraction sits in front of every backend you configure — signed URLs, hot/cold tier routing rules, and live sync health monitoring — so switching or mixing backends never means rewriting how files get accessed.
AI Processing
Every upload gets auto-tagged, has its text extracted (OCR, PDF, Office formats), and gets a semantic embedding generated — all in the background, without anyone manually categorizing a single file.
Core File Operations
Move, copy, and rename entire trees of files and folders like a real filesystem, with duplicate detection catching redundant uploads and a processing pipeline running automatically behind every one.
Desktop Sync
Aeion Bridge keeps a local folder in sync with your cloud drive bidirectionally — edit a file on your desktop and the cloud copy, and everyone else's view of it, updates without anyone thinking about "syncing."
Chunked & Resumable Uploads
A dropped connection on a multi-gigabyte video doesn't mean starting over — uploads resume where they left off, with content-hash deduplication catching the file if it's already there.
Local & Hybrid Storage
Keep recent files on local disk with atomic write guarantees and route archives to cloud storage automatically — one file tree, two tiers, no manual "which drive is this on" decisions.
Previews & Thumbnails
Images, PDFs, videos, and Office docs get a thumbnail and preview generated the moment they're uploaded — browse your library visually instead of guessing from filenames.
Compliance Pipeline
DLP scanning, retention enforcement, audit logging, signed share-links, and smart-folder evaluation all run continuously in the background — compliance is always on, not a quarterly scramble.
The Autonomous Librarian Agent
Every file upload kicks off an AI pipeline that processes the document before it's surfaced to users.
DLP — Data Loss Prevention That Actually Catches Things
Three layers of inspection before any file is searchable or shareable.
Uncompromising Version Control
Immutable Version History
Every edit creates a permanent version stamped with who changed it, when, and what changed — restore any version with one click, or diff two versions to see the exact delta for text-bearing files.
File Locking
Checking out a Photoshop file, a CAD drawing, or a raw video locks it for editing — everyone else sees who has it and when, so two people never silently overwrite each other's work on a file that can't be merged.
Retention Policies
Set it once — "delete resumes 3 years after upload," "archive contracts to cold storage after 5 years" — per folder or per tag, and the compliance lifecycle runs itself instead of depending on someone remembering.
Activity Audit
Every read, write, share, download, version restore, and DLP scan is logged per space and per file, so "who touched this and when" is always a definite answer — exportable to your SIEM.
CIO / IT-buyer questions
Those are hosted SaaS — your files live in their datacenter, you pay per-GB storage markup, integrations are via brittle public APIs. Aeion Files runs *inside* your OS — files in your S3 bucket, metadata in your tenant DB, cross-module links via the same secure data layer that protects everything else. Same data sovereignty story as the rest of Aeion.
Yes. The per-file Activity Audit log records every read, write, share, download, version restore, DLP decision, and access denial with timestamp + user + IP + reason. Meets SOC 2 CC6.1, HIPAA 164.312(b), ISO 27001 A.12.4. SIEM export included.
The DLP scanner catches it on upload (PII regex + Luhn validation for SSN format). File is quarantined to a separate bucket; admin gets a notification; file is unviewable until reviewed. Admin can redact, release, or delete with full audit trail. Per-rule sensitivity is tenant-configurable.
Yes via WOPI. Configure Collabora Online or ONLYOFFICE as the WOPI server; users open .docx/.xlsx/.pptx in-place with collaborative editing, comments, change tracking. No download/re-upload cycle. Included free.
Every text-bearing file gets a semantic embedding on upload. Search queries are embedded the same way, and results are ranked by conceptual relevance, not just keyword match. Typical query latency: 80-150ms over a 100k-file index.
Singularity has connectors for both (see /platform/singularity). Bulk migration imports files + folder structure + permissions in one pass; AI auto-tags the imported library. A 50K-file migration typically takes 2-4 hours including AI processing.
Yes, included free. Set storage routing rules — recent files to S3 Standard, archives older than 90 days to S3 Glacier, large videos to R2 (cheaper egress), etc. The system handles re-routing transparently; users see one consistent file tree.
First-class. Users check out a file → exclusive lock; others see who has it locked and when. Check-in releases the lock + creates a new version. Locks expire after configurable timeout (default 24h) to prevent abandoned holds.
