Look at your desk. Is it cluttered with a paper trail of bank records, bills, photos, and more? Do you have Zip disks and CDs and DVDs scattered about that you’re afraid to get rid of but don’t know how to organize? Many of us can answer yes to both questions. Well, if you want to clean up the mess, plus much more, Docsvault deserves serious consideration. It’s best-suited for small office/small business settings, but it’s ideal for everyday, all-day users who incessantly deal with mountains of documents.

Described as a “paperless office solution,” Docsvault eliminates the reliance on paper with such tools as an integrated PDF creator and scanning abilities. Once you integrate your data into the program, you can view it several ways. Docsvault can store the most important of that data with 128-bit encryption in a Safevault, which is password-protected and well-organized into Safe Info subcategories.

Docsvault’s data-management tools don’t require a steep learning curve to use or spending a fortune to acquire. In fact, most actions are drag-and-drop easy, and the app’s price may be its best selling point. A pro-level document manager with this much functionality at under $50 is a bargain. Finding one that performs as Docsvault does is just as pleasing.

The program relies heavily on Windows Explorer for its interface, and it’s a good choice for these tasks. Additionally, tabs conveniently let you view different areas of a drive simultaneously, and there’s also a fair Backup/Restore tool and ability to archive data to CD/DVD and other removable media. The search and indexing functions are straightforward, as are most functions. Those that weren’t for me were cleared up by the help tools, which cover a broad spectrum of topics in good detail. Importing data from a scanner was a snap, and creating new folders and files in existing cabinets to arrange my data in a makes-sense-for-me manner was also easy.

Considering its more-than-friendly price, Docsvault is an enticing package for those looking for a program that can manage, back up, archive, and scan in data, plus manage your tasks. Home and SMB versions are also available.
