SharePoint-Native DMS

A SharePoint document management system — without leaving SharePoint

A SharePoint document management system adds governance, search, and compliance automation directly on top of SharePoint Online — no separate repository, no data migration. ARC-Files is that layer.

What standard SharePoint doesn't include

Cross-library metadata governance and bulk tagging
Automated document retention and expiration monitoring
Centralized audit trail across every site collection
One-click, folder-level permissions visibility

How ARC-Files adds DMS capability to SharePoint

Six core modules turn SharePoint into a governed document management system.

Document SearchUnified, lightning-fast search across every SharePoint library in your environment — filter by metadata, property, market, or full-text content.Metadata ReportIdentify untagged or improperly tagged documents across your environment with exportable quality reports linked directly to fix issues.Bulk TaggerApply managed metadata tags to multiple documents in one operation — mass-apply property codes, fix historical tagging errors, and standardize document types.Retention ManagerAutomate document archiving or deletion based on retention policies — default retention window of 365 days with legal hold and compliance sweep support.Audit ViewerComplete visibility into who viewed, edited, moved, or deleted any file — defensible legal logs searchable by user, date, or action type.Permissions ViewerSee exactly who has access to what, down to the folder level — identify over-permissioned users, fix broken inheritance, and revoke access with one click.

Frequently asked questions

What is a SharePoint document management system?

A SharePoint document management system is a DMS built directly on Microsoft SharePoint Online. Instead of moving documents into a separate repository, it adds governance, search, metadata, and compliance capabilities on top of your existing SharePoint libraries.

Do I need to migrate off SharePoint to get DMS features?

No. ARC-Files deploys as SPFx web parts inside your current Microsoft 365 tenant. Your documents stay in SharePoint; ARC-Files adds the search, metadata governance, and compliance layer standard SharePoint doesn't include.

How is this different from standard SharePoint or Syntex?

Standard SharePoint provides file storage and basic metadata. Microsoft Syntex adds AI content processing. ARC-Files adds a governed metadata structure, bulk tagging, expiration monitoring, retention automation, and audit visibility — purpose-built for real estate document operations.
