Fileport vs Box / Google / SharePoint search

Fileport searches and governs across all of them at once — with permission-aware retrieval, reconciliation, and a tamper-evident ledger native search can't offer.

Where Box / Google / SharePoint search is a fair choice

Good in-app search inside a single repository you already pay for.

Where it falls short

Native search is single-system and permission-flattening risk-prone for AI; it can't reconcile the same document across systems or govern retention and holds across them.

Buyer use case

When teams switch to Fileport

When knowledge is split across SharePoint, Box, and Google Drive, teams adopt Fileport to ask one question and get a governed, cited answer from every system — instead of searching each silo separately.
FAQ

Common questions

Doesn't SharePoint or Google search already do this?

Only within their own walls. Fileport unifies search and governance across all your repositories and enforces each user's permissions across them.

Will AI expose files people shouldn't see?

Not with Fileport — ACLs travel with every document and are enforced at query time, so retrieval is fail-closed by default.
