Abstract

We introduce and demonstrate NubiVis, a web-based tool for exploring and managing personal files stored in arbitrary locations with a unified view. NubiVis supports views on files partitioned and dispersed across several storage services when running atop the NubiSave cloud storage controller, as well as meta-data and facets when run in combination with the Strigi file indexer. In addition to the visualisation through various extensible modules, NubiVis also enables users to execute control over where their files are stored by simulated and actual exclusion of storage providers. No server-side infrastructure is required for NubiVis which makes it a suitable integrated component of mobile devices for fully user-controlled pervasive access to files.

Keywords: cloud storage file management file visualisation
