What can you use the app for?

Fluxiom provides users with an in depth way to store, share and organize media files. Users can quickly upload .zip files of media which Fluxiom will automatically sort. The drag and drop interface makes it much easier to move files from computers to the application and back again. After uploading files, users can select them in any order they like and add tags to associate the file with a project, goal, theme or anything else. The user can then view files by their tag or all at once by deselecting the tag. Fluxiom also automatically generates resizable previews and thumbnail images. The application can handle more than 100 different file formats, which include GIF, BMP, JPEG, TIFF, AI, EPS, PSD and PDF file types. Users can also invite team members and other relevant individuals to access their Fluxiom account for collaboration. The application is intelligent and makes it much easier to search for items, even if the user is not certain about the file name. Fluxiom also displays and understands meta data such as keywords, color profile, copyright and author.
