File List and enabling a search box

Daniel Jimenez February 12, 2021

I am uploading PowerPoint presentations and pdf files into my file list.

I want to enable a search box that can find these files using keywords inside these files for a more efficient search. I tried using the Macro Search tool, but unfortunately, it does not bring any result with PowerPoint.

I understand I can add labels whenever I upload a file, but since I manage hundreds of files, it looks impossible for me to do that.

Hi @Daniel Jimenez Unfortunately Confluence does not search through attachments.  That means that this functionality is not available in Confluence Cloud.

@Daniel JimenezA tool depends on your computing environment.  You could use e.g. Google Cloud, Dropbox, or Microsoft Sharepoint to store the files and search through them.
