Learn 80% of Shade in 2 minutes
Most of the ways you will use Shade on a day-to-day can be learned in 2 minutes.
1
Use natural language in your AI search
Our neural search works best when you use natural language instead of tags. You can also search an individual folder instead of the current drive with cmd/ctrl+f. Alternatively, you can access the AI Search via our Command Pallete with cmd/ctrl+k
2
Filter for specific attributes
Get granular with filters on file level attributes or custom metadata.
3
Share externally with invites or published links
Right click on any folder or asset to invite collaborators via email or send out published links with optional passwords, expiration dates, and view limits.
4
Manage your ShadeFS mount
ShadeFS works by allotting cache space on your computer or an external directory. After you set up ShadeFS, you can adjust these settings and get to work by hitting “mount” on any drive on the left panel. Right-click any file or folder and select "Pin to Cache" to keep important assets available offline for instant access.
5
Put it all together
Start with an AI search to find what you are looking for, review the comments, and open the file locally to start working.
