Projects & search

Every job in one place. Every file findable.

A project groups a client job’s share links, upload portals, deliveries and transfers with its crew, dates and status. Search walks the whole workspace by name, tag, codec, resolution, size, date or the fields you define, and the searches you run every week are one click.

Plans: Projects, search, tags, custom fields, favourites, deep links, folder notes and requests are on every plan. Free keeps three saved searches; Pro and above have no limit. Move and copy jobs run up to 500 GB per job on Pro and above (250 GB on Free).

Boita Projects: cards for “EP04 delivery” for Northbank Media and “Q3 CAD release” for Vantage Engineering with status, client, due date, folder and members.
Projects: a folder, a client, a due date and everyone on it.

How it works

In order

  1. 01

    Open a project for the job

    Name, client, status (Active, On hold, Delivered, Archived), start and due dates, notes and the crew with a lead. Anything you create from the project page is grouped under it.

  2. 02

    Files index themselves

    Every upload is indexed the moment it lands, with codec, resolution, frame rate and audio layout from the probe; a reconcile walk every 30 seconds picks up anything that arrived by a watch folder or an import.

  3. 03

    Find it, act on it

    Filter by extension, tag, size, date, codec, resolution, custom field or folder; select hundreds of results; move, copy, rename or share them in one verified job.

Everything in Projects & search

Shipped items are marked Live; the rest is committed roadmap or built and waiting on an outside approval, and says so.

  • Live

    Projects with crew, dates and status

    Bytes sent and received, transfers, downloads and open links per project, on the web and the phone. Deleting a project removes the grouping only; nothing else changes.

  • Live

    Search by what the file is

    Words from the name, tags, container, codec, resolution (1080p, 4k, 8k), frame rate or audio layout, with filters for size, date, folder and custom fields. Results respect folder permissions.

  • Live

    Tags and custom fields

    Up to 30 tags per file; up to 20 workspace-defined fields (text, dropdown or date) such as sample id, project code, revision or sensitivity, filled per file and searchable as key:value.

  • Live

    Saved searches

    Save a search for the whole workspace: "approved this week", "over 50 GB and older than 30 days", "revision:B". Three on Free, unlimited from Pro.

  • Live

    Move, copy and rename at scale

    Hundreds of files per job, sequence-aware, previewed first and verified on the destination before anything is removed from the source.

  • Live

    Numbered sets as one row

    Tiles, frames, scans or slices numbered 0001 to 2400 are one row with the range, the count, the size and a gap warning; expand for a single file.

  • Live

    Favourites, pins, recents, deep links

    Star a file, pin a folder, see what you touched last, and copy a link that opens the same folder or file for a teammate.

  • Live

    Folder notes and internal requests

    Pin a note to a folder ("final deliverables here, nothing else"), and ask a teammate for files in a folder with a request that tracks whether they landed.

  • Live

    Workspace templates

    Start a new workspace from a template of folders, defaults and rules for a kind of team, then change anything.

  • Live

    Version history

    When an upload replaces a file the previous copy is kept for the retention window; restore or delete any version from Files.

  • Live

    All your workspaces on one page

    Every workspace you belong to, with usage and role, in one list.

FAQ

Questions from this page.

More in the full FAQ.

Is a project a folder?

A project sits on a folder and groups everything created from the project page: links, portals, auto-delivery rules and transfers into that folder. The files stay ordinary files; removing the project changes nothing about them.

Can I search inside file contents?

No. Search covers names, paths, tags, custom fields and the technical details probed from media files (codec, resolution, frame rate, audio layout, duration). It does not read documents.

What does "verified before anything is deleted" mean for a move?

A move copies to the destination, checks the copy against the recorded checksum, and only then removes the source. If anything fails, the source is untouched and the job says which files.
