Abstract

A cloud-based platform (e.g., cloud-based collaboration and/or storage platform/service) is described that permits advanced searches with advanced filtering mechanisms to be performed by administrators or other authorized individuals, across an organization, enterprise, or other select groups of entities in a cloud environment, such as a cloud-based collaborative environment. Various types, categories, metadata, and filters can be specified for use in the advanced search within select folders, users' folders, or across a larger set/group of folders and/or users.
