# Software to manage digital assets

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-02-19)

Over the years I have accumulated enough digital assets (mainly videos and photos) for it to become a massive problem in terms of organizing it all and then being able to find it.

I am wondering what people are using out there, regardless of the platform (even though I am deeply invested on Linux)

Here are the requirements I consider essential:

1. Being able to identify duplicates and save storage
2. Ability to apply multiple tags and comments to make searching easier
3. Ability to "publish" or otherwise make visible through a controlled web server only a subset of these assets
4. Easy way to export or otherwise create backup copies
5. Intuitive GUI front end

I have been searching around without any luck so I am keen to hear from other in this forum.
