What is Indexing?

Indexing is a function that is available in Tonido (v4.x onwards) which searches for certain file types such as Photos, Audio and Video and organizes them for different type of access. Once files are indexed, different clients such as the web browser, mobile clients can provide rich user experience in accessing those file.

1. Open the browser and connect to the Tonido server instance by entering http://yourid.tonidoid.com
2. Navigate to Settings
3. Open the Misc Tab
4. Under the "Indexed Folder", select "Add folders to Index"

Once the folder is added, Tonido will automatically begin scanning the folder. The indexing action can take time to complete depending on the number of files and the access speed of the filesystem (Especially if the filesystem is a network mounted share)

The status of share is shown in the "Indexed Folder" section.

How often is automatic Indexing performed and can it be changed?

Indexing is done every 12 hours . However, If no change was detected in the filesystem, then no action is done.
