File archive and an excel like sheet

The server I made for the local PC wasn't perfect. I figured something smaller can also make do.

Ok, this one better comes with a narration.

Imagine You have a 6 terabytes of projects from years of work. They're all segregated from 0 to anything above on each hard drive. You make an excel sheet in which You have additional info about each project. Like how much it costs, the status, client info, and a couple more.

Now imagine that at one point in life, You could reuse 1(ONE) specific file from a project You know You did, but You have no idea where it is. And so You can look through all the hard drives, sure. Or better yet, You can try the never faulty always helpful windows search. Good luck with that.

This website simply joins two sides, it creates folders, stores the uploaded files in them, and also keeps the data about the project in them. Of course it also allows You to change the data. It's 2 in 1.

And more importantly it has a search function to quickly find projects.

It's not some peak engineering but more of an organizing tool.

Oh and it even stores notes!
