Overview

Tabbles is a relational file manager that keeps tags for files, bookmarks and Outlook emails in a database rather than in file names or folders. Tags can be applied by hand or by rules that match a file's path, name or content, including regular expressions. Teams share tagging through an MSSQL server database, with privileges set per user and per group.

Best for: Windows teams that want to tag and search files across local, network and cloud drives
Pricing: No prices are shown on the captured pages; the site links to a separate 'Buy' page.

Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

Tags any file type without renaming files or adding hidden files
Auto-tagging rules by path, name, content or regular expressions
Timestamped, chat-like comments on files, bookmarks and emails
Mass deployment via Group Policies and Active Directory user import

Trade-offs

.Net client with .exe/.msi installers; no non-Windows client is mentioned
Server runs entirely inside a Microsoft SQL database; no other backend shown
Tags are held in a database, so they do not travel with the files themselves
No prices published on the captured pages, only a 'Buy' link
