BXR is an open source, ruby on rails file management system. It is based off of Boxroom, an open source file management project.

You can also search for files and folders, either by keyword, or by file content. Organization of files is easy! Besides being able to upload files to different folders, you can also add spcific tags/labels to each file.

 Easy-To-Use User Interface

 Assign Group Priveleges for File/Folder Protection
 Tag/Label Files for better organization

Help & Faqs

 How do I install BXR?
The best way to install BXR and figure out how it works is to open the INSTALL file included with the download. It will tell you everything about how to get it up and running... and how to use it! Also, check out the README file, it has some good info in it as well. If you need any help, check out our forum, or ask us!

 I want to be able to search inside files for stuff. How do I turn on Ferret?
Ferret indexing is disabled by default. To turn on Ferret indexing, open config/environment.rb and change the line:
FERRET_ENABLED = false
to
FERRET_ENABLED = true
That's it!
