Search & Tags

Trove has built-in full-text search across your file library, plus a tag system for manual organisation.

Searching

Click the search bar at the top of the file browser, or press / to focus it. Trove searches across:

• File names
• Tags attached to files

Results are scoped to your own files — other users’ files are never returned.

Tags

Tags let you categorise files without moving them into folders. A file can have multiple tags.

Adding tags

Open a file’s detail view and use the Tags field to add one or more tags. Tags are free-form — type anything and press Enter.

Searching by tag

Type a tag name into the search bar. Files tagged with that term are returned.

You can combine tag search with name search — results include files that match either.

Removing tags

Open the file detail view and click the × next to any tag to remove it.

Tips

• Tags are case-insensitive — Invoices and invoices match the same files.
• Use tags alongside folders for cross-cutting categories (e.g. tag files 2024 or urgent regardless of which folder they live in).
• Shared links do not expose tags to recipients.
