Find any file with global search and keep your library tidy with folders. Sorting and drag-and-drop round out file management.

What's new in file organization?
The new Plaud Mobile App rebuilds file management around your real work:
- Global search: tap the menu button (☰) in the top-left corner of the home screen, then tap the search button at the top of the side navigation to search across file names, file content, speaker names, and folder names. Content search covers transcripts, summaries, and text documents (DOC, DOCX, TXT, and MD). Results highlight the match, and opening a file jumps to the first match. Sort results by Best match, Date modified, or Date created.
- Rename: rename a file or folder from the detail page menu or the list item menu. Duplicate names can't be saved.
- Drag and drop: move files into folders by dragging.
- Sorting: sort your meeting list by Date created (default) or Date modified. Folder pages also sort by name or your side-navigation order.
- Folders and batch actions: archive files into folders, and move, rename, or delete files in batch.
How to move files into a folder?
There are two ways to move files:
-
Move a single file: open the file's menu in the list and tap Move to folder.
-
Move several files at once: enter multi-select mode (swipe left on a file, or tap the sort button next to Meeting notes > Select; in Library, tap the top-right ⋯ > Select), select the files, then tap Move in the bottom bar. You can also Merge, Rename, or Delete from the same bar.
In both cases, name conflicts are resolved automatically by appending a number.
Search tips
- Your 10 most recent searches are saved for quick reuse. Tap the trash icon next to Recent searches to clear them.
- Search covers your Private content. Plaud Team workspace content isn't included in global search.
- Use the sort dropdown above the results to order them by Best match, Date modified (newest/oldest), or Date created (newest/oldest).
How to sort your files?
- On the home screen, tap the sort button to the right of Meeting notes.
- In the pop-up, tap Sort by and choose Date created (default) or Date modified. The same menu also offers Select to enter multi-select mode.
