Search in myCloud

  • Some questions for the community

    - Is there a way to search for file names within “Files” in myCloud?

    - Is there a way to search for album names within Photos in myCloud?

    - Do uploaded photos within myCloud still have the original file name and can you search for it?

    Kind regards, baumaeschi

    • Hello Rene. Thanks for your patience. Search is a planned topic for 2018 and we are currently doing some testing. Can’t make any promises to you yet. But it is definitely a popular feature and we want to achieve a good user experience, so it will probably take some time.

      Best regards Mathias

    There is no search mode in MyCloud, only a partial sorting mode!

    There are also some options under Chronicle.

    Dear Swisscom. I’ve been with MyClodu since day 1 and really appreciate the service. But since day 1 I’ve been asking for a search function that every database should have. For months I’ve been getting the answer that something is coming. But I’ve been hearing that for a year now.

    I have several thousand documents on MyCloud, but no search function. Unfortunately, the added value is not that great.

    I’m curious about the current status of this feature.

    Best regards

    Rene

    Hello dear Swisscom

    When will a long-awaited search function finally come to MyCloud? That would be great added value.

    Thank you. Best regards

    Hello,

    I was just looking for a way to use the search function in myCloud and came across this - sorry - old thread. Doesn’t seem to be solved yet. I would find it helpful if you could switch the display of file names on and off in the image overview of the albums. Currently the file name can only be seen after opening the image via the “i” icon. Alternatively, a list view instead of tiles would be helpful. At least until the search function problem is solved:smirk:

    That’s really the case. I can’t fully explain it either. I don’t think a search function in cloud storage is that futuristic. I use MyCloud to backup my file server at home. This means that there are mainly documents on it. A picture view doesn’t help me either. I would like to be able to search for a file in a trivial way like in Windows Explorer….

    A search function with a focus on files is currently being tested internally. We are also currently in the process of implementing a program where new functions can be used/tested by interested users at an early stage before they are then activated for everyone. There should be news soon 😉

    The search mode probably doesn’t have a high priority at Swisscom. Until then it helps: In the web browser “cmd” and “f” (Mac) or “cntrl.” and type “f” (Win) and the location you are looking for will be marked in the list.

    Hello

    The result of the search in files is not complete, there are many files in the result… the indexing does not seem complete. Unfortunately, such a search tool is not needed

    Hello everyone

    A search function in the photos/albums areas is still not included in the apps (Android, iOS). It is only included in the files area. That’s a bit small. At least it is included in the web app. Isn’t a search function planned in the app? @SilvanG9 Lg

    100% agree. After what feels like 3 years of waiting for a search function, searching for photos/videos in the WEB interface is now possible. And in the app? Please implement it too!
