Abstract

A method of and system for managing electronic files, the electronic files being stored or being destined to be stored onto a file storage database (105). The method includes the steps of requesting a user, via a computer (120), to input data associated with the contents of a file, and storing the associated data, in a file management database (110), the file management database (110) being distinct from the file storage database (105). A program running on a platform (125) links the associated data to the location of the file on the file storage database (105), monitors the electronic files to determine when a file or a directory containing the file is moved, deleted or renamed and then automatically updates the associated data in the file management database (110) in the event of the file or directory containing the file being moved, deleted or renamed.
