CloudFiler is an 'Add-in' to Outlook and hence works on all Outlook platforms. See Prerequisites for details. There are however some limitations for users of Macs and devices based on the ARM processor such as Microsoft Surface. So whilst users of these devices will be able to file and search, they will not be able to run our optional Apps or our management tools, which include:


The Optional Apps


  • The Helper – this saves you a click when using the search, as it opens emails in Outlook when you double click them. Without the Helper you have one more click.
  • The Shell Extension – this enables you to add filing locations to CloudFiler via the right-click menu in Windows Explorer
  • The Prompt to File – this interrupts your flow when sending emails to remind you to check the location that CloudFiler has selected for you



The Management tools

  • The Bulk Uploader - this is mostly used as a data migration tool, when you adopt CloudFiler for the first time
  • The Location Manager - this enables you to edit locations in bulk via a spreadsheet
