Common questions
Archivemind FAQs
Does ArchiveMind upload my files?
No. Indexing reads files locally and stores what it learned in your local catalogue. Nothing is uploaded.
Can it really search a drive that's unplugged?
Yes — that's the point. Once everything is indexed it stays searchable; the originals open again when the drive reconnects.
What file types are supported?
Every file is catalogued, fingerprinted, and duplicate-checked. Beyond that, each format gets the metadata, text, and preview treatment it supports — labelled honestly where it doesn't.
What languages does ArchiveMind support?
Your files can be in any language — filenames and document text are catalogued and searched as Unicode, accents included. The interface is in English, and visual search understands English descriptions best. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text searches poorly for now; we say so rather than pretend.
