Our digital lifestyle accumulates digital content that sooner or later is withdrawn in external storage. Photos and videos of the kids when they were babies, old downloaded movies, ancient office reports and presentations end up in external hard disks — Cloud storage isn't for huge or sensitive files.
Deskrule helps manage your old file collection (external/archived) building a catalog, a searchable index of the contents of your removable devices (USB drives, DVDs, thumbdrives etc). Once you catalog your media, you can find your documents quickly — while your devices are not attached to your PC.
