Searching in Network Folders

FileCloud normally searches Network Folders by searching files and folders directly on the operating system recursively, which can take considerable time if there are large folders with many files.

For faster searching, you can

• enable indexed search of Network Folders 
• enable content search of the files in the Network Folders

Both options require that you have enabled indexing of Network Folders.
