Collected For Mac

Collected offers you the possibility to quickly find related data included in files stored in different cloud services, as you type in your current document. The app works with the Microsoft Word and PowerPoint applications, and can connect to your Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive accounts.

To start using the Collected application, you must register for an account free of charge, choose a subscription plan, and link the service to at least one cloud service. Collected will scan for available documents and makes them searchable.

As a result, when you work on a project in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, within the Collected main window you will be able to view the files, snippets, and slides stored in the cloud that include related content.

The search process takes place almost instantly so you will always know if you have worked on something similar, regardless if you remember it or not. Collected can also download files from the cloud and open them in a matter of seconds.

The Collected application resides in the status bar, and you have the option to activate its main panel with a simple mouse click. The panel cannot be activated by a global hotkey, which might prove to be a nuisance for some.

Collected does not come with any personalization options, but its modern design integrates perfectly with Mac OS X. However, within the app’s main window, you get to sort the results list by relevance or date.

To conclude, Collected a set of fairly simple tools that can go a long way: the utility automatically searches multiple cloud storage accounts for related content, which might translate into a lot of saved time.
