What is M-Files?

M-Files is a document management system that organizes content by what it is rather than where it is stored, using metadata to link documents to clients, projects, and processes instead of relying on folder hierarchies. The platform includes OCR, e-signing, offline access, and built in workflow automation that assigns tasks and triggers notifications as documents move through review cycles.

M-Files Aino, the platform's AI assistant, provides intelligent search and task automation, with more advanced Aino agents available on the Enterprise tier. M-Files is available in cloud, on premises, and hybrid deployments, and integrates natively with Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, and Copilot, making it a common choice for regulated industries needing strong compliance and audit controls.
