File Tracking Software: Best Solutions for Smart Management 2025

Introduction to File Tracking Software in 2025

As we move deeper into the digital era, the need for smart file and document management is more important than ever. Businesses across all industries are looking for solutions that can track physical and digital files efficiently. That’s where File Tracking Software comes in. In 2025, this technology plays a major role in improving data visibility, operational efficiency, and compliance.

What Is File Tracking Software?

File Tracking Software is a digital system that helps organizations monitor, manage, and locate files—both physical and digital—throughout their lifecycle. It is especially useful for organizations that handle large volumes of documents, such as legal firms, hospitals, government agencies, and corporate offices. The software offers real-time status updates, location tracking, audit trails, and access control.

Why File Tracking Software Is Essential for Smart Management

In 2025, the business environment demands accuracy, speed, and accountability. Lost or misplaced files can lead to delayed decisions, legal risks, and reduced trust from clients. File Tracking Software helps eliminate these problems by ensuring every file is accounted for, tracked, and secured. This improves transparency and allows teams to access the right information at the right time.

Top Features of Modern File Tracking Solutions

Modern File Tracking Software comes with smart features designed to meet industry demands:

Real-time file location updates

Barcode or RFID tag integration

Role-based access control

Custom notifications and alerts

Detailed audit trails and reporting

Integration with existing document management systems

These features provide end-to-end file visibility and reduce the time spent searching for documents.

Benefits of Using File Tracking Software in 2025

Organizations using File Tracking Software gain several advantages:

Improved productivity: Less time is wasted searching for files

Better compliance: Maintains records for audits and regulations

Enhanced security: Only authorized personnel can access files

Reduced operational cost: Cuts down on manual file management

Data accuracy: Ensures all file movements are tracked accurately

In the long run, companies that adopt file tracking tools gain a significant edge over competitors still relying on manual methods.

Best File Tracking Software Solutions to Consider in 2025

While there are many software providers in the market, choosing the best one depends on your business size, file volume, and integration needs. Some top solutions in 2025 include:

RFID-based tracking systems for high-security environments

Cloud-enabled platforms for remote accessibility

Barcode-based systems for physical file archives

Custom-built enterprise file tracking systems tailored to your operations

Before making a selection, always check whether the software is scalable, easy to integrate, and supports regulatory compliance.

How File Tracking Enhances Workflow and Productivity

By implementing File Tracking Software, organizations streamline their document flow. For example, in a legal firm, every case file can be tagged and tracked. If someone checks out a file, the system records who accessed it and when. This ensures full accountability and eliminates the hassle of searching for lost documents. The result is faster service delivery and improved employee focus.

File Tracking for Various Industries: Healthcare, Legal, Logistics & More

Each industry has its own file tracking needs:

Healthcare: Track patient records to ensure fast and accurate treatments

Legal: Manage case files securely and reduce file misplacement risks

Logistics: Handle shipping documents and receipts in real-time

Government: Ensure transparency and easy access to official records

Regardless of the industry, File Tracking Software simplifies how documents are handled.

Cloud-Based vs On-Premise File Tracking Software

In 2025, most organizations prefer cloud-based File Tracking Software due to its remote access, easy updates, and lower upfront costs. However, some institutions with strict security requirements opt for on-premise solutions. Your choice depends on your IT policies, file sensitivity, and budget. Cloud solutions work well for scalable operations, while on-premise systems offer tighter control.

Security and Compliance in File Tracking Systems

File security is a top priority in any organization. With File Tracking Software, businesses can assign role-based access, enforce file permissions, and monitor every action taken on a file. The system also generates audit logs that are useful for both internal reviews and external compliance checks. This ensures that all document handling follows legal and regulatory frameworks.

How to Choose the Right File Tracking Software for Your Business

Before investing in any file tracking system, consider these factors:

Scalability: Can the system grow with your business?

Integration: Will it work with your current document systems?

Ease of use: Is the interface user-friendly for your staff?

Support: Does the vendor offer reliable technical support?

Customization: Can the software be tailored to your workflows?

A well-planned selection will save time and costs in the long run.

You don't have to do everything alone

A/N: Making some blurbs while I work on a longer piece, could be awhile before that one comes out though, probably gonna end up at 10k words if I haven't calculated it wrong. Requests are open too if you got a blurb you'd like to see!

Blurb: Reader is overworked and gets pulled away by their boys.

The screen in front of you had gotten exceedingly brighter during the last few hours. You could feel your brain slowly turning to mush in your head, no matter how hard you tried to sharpen yourself.

The sun outside had long since gone down, replaced by a dark and clouded sky that you didn't have time to pay attention to. You could feel your eyes hurting, slipping closed every now and then from exhaustion. Most people had already gone back to the barracks by now, done with their work for the day and in for a good sleep.

You couldn't afford such a luxury right now, not with the current mission and everything that's at stake. You didn't know how long you had been at it today, but it's all your mind had been focused for the last week. Your job was to track the targets, find them, information anything you could to figure out potential locations.

That's what you'd been occupied with for so long now, and you were failing at it.

You were supposed to be a specialist, a professional who knew what they were doing. Instead, you were here, with a headache that could kill, no hope, and tons and tons of unreviewed files you had yet to get to.

You take a deep, long breath, hoping that it could give you some relief in your state. It doesn't. Your hand comes up to rub at your neck, taking the opportunity to look around the office you'd been holed up in.

You'd been right to assume everyone else had already gone, someone must have missed you were still in here and turned off the lights. Either that, or you'd been sitting still as a statue for longer than you thought.

It was a possibility, judging by the ache in your bones when you stretch and pop your sore joints. You didn't dare look at the clock, but you didn't doubt that you had missed your usual afternoon gym session. There was too much to do to allow yourself to be distracted, even for a few moments.

You knew a large part of this operation now relied on you and few others. Ones that you didn't count on being competent enough to get the job done, so it came down to you. Not that you felt very competent now either, you weren't much better, having found no solution to your problem yet.

With a sigh, you turn back around in your chair, honing in on the sharp screen once again. You could ignore the ache in your stomach for a bit longer, if you just tried a few more things, maybe you could find the fix all solution you'd been looking for?

Even with your split mind, and rundown state, it wasn't hard to get back into focus. It was the only trait you could rely on now, the focus carrying you through long enough to fix your problems one by one.

A downside, some would say, would be the way you tune out of your surroundings, you stop noticing things happening around you, not to mention the passage of time completely eludes you. You didn't even realize when the light in the office were turned on, or when two different sources called your name. You didn't notice the footsteps become louder in your direction, or when two shadows towered over you.

You were only torn out of your focused fixation when someone gently slid down a hand over your eyes. Your breath hitches in your throat, your hands coming up to grab at the arm and push it away but getting stopped by a different set of hands.

"Jus' us luv" Simon's gruff voice vibrates close to your ear, making you relax your shoulders and let your hands fall back to your lap. It's only now when your eyes are shrouded in the darkness his palm creates that you realize how much your eyes were hurting. You forcefully blink a few times, settling for closing your eyes, protected behind the security of his hand.

You lean back in your chair, feeling the back of your head collide against Simon's firm stomach. You crane your head upwards, despite not being able to see him, you can almost imagine the curious look he has on when you do. His other rough hand slowly slides from your shoulder, over your throat, holding a persistent comforting weight there to keep you in check.

Your lips part ever so slightly, letting out a long gust of air, expelling everything in your lungs and making your shoulders sag. You had barely noticed how exhausted you had gotten, but this was nice.

You try to jerk your head when you hear someone else's movements, but Simon holds you in place. You feel a different set of hands gently lay on your shoulder, that someone shuffling in-between you and the desk you'd been spending the last several hours at.

"Missed ye darling," you let out a small huff when you hear the Scottish accent, not that you expected him to not be hot on Simon's heels. Your scoff is silenced when he gently places his lips on yours, Simon's hand not even bothering to move to give him space to do so.

In a way you don't want him to move his hands away from your face and neck, it was somewhat stabilizing. "What are you two doing," you ask, slightly out of breath when Johnny pulls away. From the sounds and his movements, you guess he crouches down in front of you, placing both his hands on each of your thighs.

You reach forward, blindly searching for him, and only finding him when he guides your hands to his face. "You've been actin' off," Simon starts out, Johnny slipping in a hum of agreeance, "you're working yourself to death dove."

You let out a huff in response, not wanting to agree with him no matter how true his statement was. You run your hands through Johnny's hair, grabbing playfully at his mohawk. You lean forward, gently sliding out of Simon's hold.

His hands resting on you retract, and you almost instantly regret it, squinting your eyes in the bright light. "M'fine," you mumble quietly, letting go of Johnny and looking into his bright blue eyes, "Jus' a bit stressed".

"C'mon to bed, love," you had halfheartedly expected Johnny to plead with you, but he seemed way past that now, using a more authoritative tone and leaving little room for disagreeing. Of course, that didn't mean you weren't going to, though.

"Can't" you continue to mumble tiredly, doing your best to keep your eyes open and ignore the dull ache in your head, "still have to finish this." You hear Simon let out a heavy sigh behind you, you'd almost feel guilt under his disappointed stare if you weren't already ridden with it already.

"You've worked hard enough for today, there's always tomorrow" Simon reasons with you. You're about to protest again when he points another thing out, "don't come with another excuse, you can barely even keep your eyes open, don't deny it."

You barely catch the glance the two men exchange with each other, but you don't fail to recognize what it means. You've already lost the fight at this point, you didn't have an argument that would actually make them listen, and deep down you knew they were right.

"I…" you barely get your word out before Johnny stands up, taking your hand in his and softly pulling you to your feet. You don't know when or how, but they'd already turned off the computer you had been using.

You take a step towards Johnny, but instantly feel your vision swirl, the millions of thin pricks blacking out your view for a good couple of seconds. With a groan, you collide against his chest, closing your eyes and staying there long past how long it took for the prickling to disappear.

"Ah got ye," he mumbles quietly, bringing around his burly arms to encompass you into a hug, placing a small kiss to the side of your head. The last of your willpower and determination to continue and finish your work tonight, dwindles away when you feel his warmth.

"When's the last time you ate?" you hear Simon ask in a quieter, knowing tone. You wince against Johnny, knowing the scolding you were gonna get later. It was hard for you to recall much of anything from the day, most of it was spent in front of a screen with data, minimal breaks. You weren't entirely sure whether or not you had eaten anything that day.

Johnny takes in a deep breath; you feel his chest expand under your cheek before lowering back again. "We'll get ye some leftovers on the way back aye?" he mentions and softly turns you around, "Garrick left some from his last meal, ah think it's something ye will like."

You nod gently, letting the exhaustion take a small win when your eyes softly close. You don't feel like opening them again, being quite fine with falling asleep standing up right now. "C'mon, let's get you to bed, Johnny'll get the food." Simon places a hand between your shoulder blades, guiding you along.

"Aye."

How you stay upright all the way to your room, you have no idea. You're pretty sure you should've collapsed at least ten times on the way here, but with Simon's hand on you, you felt like you could push on just a little more, and finally you could collapse on your bed.

Simon let's out a breathy chuckle at your theatrics, moving your limbs around like you were a doll. He pulls you up and takes a seat behind you, pulling you close with your back to his chest. You feel his hot breath on your ear, and after getting yourself comfortable, you can finally feel yourself relax.

"You need to stop taking on everythin' alone" he dips his head into the crook of your neck, his lips ghosting over your skin. "You're not the only one working on this, you can take a break" he mumbles, and lets his arm travel over your midriff, pulling you even closer back against him.

"I know, but the less I’m working, the more time it's going to take to find our target" you answer, moving your hand up to run it over his scalp. Your attention is taken away from him when the soft click of the door opening reaches your ears.

With a small smile, you greet Johnny back in, watching the plate of food he brings along. As soon as you smell the delicious meal, your stomach rumbles, loudly. You grimace, once again having forgotten the gaping hole you felt in your stomach.

"Hungry then aye?" He sits down in the bed next to the two of you, handing you the plate of food, which you accept graciously. You knew how good of a cook Gaz was, but this was one of your favourites, it was likely he had intended to give you some as well, had you been available at all during the day.

You let out a sinful groan when the food collides with your taste buds. "Thank you…fucking hell," you mumble with your mouth full. You make a mental note to thank Kyle for the food later, and then also beg him for another batch.

"Easy," Simon grumbles from behind you, "gonna upset your stomach by eating so fast." His hand comes to rest against your elbow, slowing your movements so you don't inhale the food on your plate.

"I know I know," you mumble between bites, catching the cheeky grin Johnny gives you from how you sound with your mouth full. "It's fine, I can eat, take a nap and then get back to it" you declare after finishing another bite of your food.

"Nu uh," Johnny shakes his head, seemingly amused that you think you're not going to be resting longer than that. "We'll keep ye in bed until ye're rested properly" he reaches his hand forward, letting it rest on your knee while his thumb rubs against your skin.

"What you can't do that-"

"We'll do whatever it takes to make sure our darling isn't working themselves into the ground again," Simon comments from behind you, leaving you a bit stunned at his sternness. You feel him gently take the empty plate away from you and put it on the bedside table when you're done.

"You can't keep me chained to the bed," you respond with a pout, crossing your arms over your chest and twisting your body to look in the eyes of the man behind you. He doesn't look like he's about to put up with your shit, however, and doesn't even dignify you with a greater response than his infamous glare.

Johnny brings your attention back to him, turning your head back by grabbing your chin. He leans in to plant a gentle and short kiss to your lips. "Ye heard 'im, whatever it'll take love" he chuckles quietly, the breathy sort of way.

You feel heat rise in your cheeks and let out a squeal when he picks you out of Simons lap, rolling over and ending up on top of you in the bed. He rests his chin against you, letting his weight hold you down and give you a comfort to your restless edge.

The light turns off above you, and it doesn't take long after that before the bed dips and Simon joins beside the two of you. Johnny let's out a satisfied hum when Simon pulls you both closer, wrapping you all up together in the blankets.

"Goodnight, ye sleep tight now, darling."

Hi there’s a tornado in my area rn but I’m spiteful like that. Random tsams/eaps headcanons be upon ye

Ruin still does those little audio log diaries. It helps manage his overflowing memory storage (read: old age = more memories to store) without compressing data files.

Bloodmoon sleeps with dog toys. Otherwise, they’d probably chew through whatever bedding material they had chosen that night. This was Ruin’s idea.

Eclipse can’t sleep with lights on in a room. Ruin can’t sleep without a light. The makeshift solution is a sleeping mask for Eclipse, but their actual compromise is a star projector.

Eclipse has to know where everyone is most of the time, especially after Charlie came into the picture. This is usually done with cameras and tracking via fazbear systems, but it’s an issue he has to work on, as it’s just a method to make him feel better about security now that there are people he cares about. At least one person has commented on there being a new nightguard.

Dark sun finds thrillers tacky, and prefers thought-provoking mysteries, bonus points for romance.

Most of them carry some kind of sanitizing wipe packet. For daycare attendants, these are for sticky messes and children. For those more familiar with tools, these are for tougher grime and are not suitable for sensitive (children’s) skin. Solar has both.

The eclipses (Eclipse, Solar, Ruin) are the most prone to damaging their rays. Eclipse sometimes hits doorways and doesn’t bother to fix cracked rays. Ruin is small enough for humans to reach his head. Solar peels the paint off of his. All three will pull or squeeze their rays in times of extreme stress, to varying degrees. Lunar is an exception for lack of rays. (Similarly, Sun fidgets with his rays, which is the source of this trait.)

While there are exceptions, Suns prefer tactile stimulation, Moons auditory, and Eclipses have no strong preference. Earth likes social interaction.

Animatronics have personalized UI that makes sense to them, which serves as their access point to their internal folders, like memory files, downloaded items, and executable programs. Bots that share an operating system/“brain” have the same UI. Diagnostics, software updates, and safety modes all require additional hardware (computers, parts and service devices, fazwrenches) to complete. Mindscapes are in AI chips, and multiple AIs in one mindscape happen when multiple AIs share the same operating system. Visual feed can be projected onto other screens with HDMI cables and vice versa, which can sometimes show that bot’s UI depending on what it is. For a more direct example of this think of the battery and blue borders you see in Security breach when Gregory is hiding inside Freddy.

Safety mode disconnects that bot from the Fazbear Ent. local network, meaning no tracking, no communication via local networks (which generally aren’t private anyway, most bots with access to phones prefer those), and no access to files that aren’t stored in that bot’s drive. This is meant to isolate a bot’s systems from the main network in case of a security breach (hah), make transportation of bots between locations easier, and make maintenance a smoother affair as there is no outside interference during the process. For the bots themselves, this is the equivalent of turning off your phone and going outside I mean focusing only on what’s in front of you instead of what’s going on in your area/social network. It’s possible to be stuck in safety mode. Depending on how much of a bot’s system relies on Fazbear Ent. Networks to function (such as a bot’s memory being stored in a Cloud, which is also ill advised between the bots themselves,) this can be mean a temporary personality/memory reset until those files get reconnected again. Bots do not need to be connected to the Fazbear ent networks to function, but it generally makes access to software updates easier due to being recognized as a company entity. It is possible for a private network to exist, but it’s considered foreign by Fazbear systems and can be more trouble than they’re worth. Moon and Eclipse have private networks shared with close friends and family for different purposes. Moon’s is mostly for emergency backups, and Eclipse’s is for security.

Animatronic’s memories are stored in the hard drives in their bodies. It’s possible to offload memory files into networks (Cloud) or external storage systems. If another bot had access to these clouds or external storages, they could experience the memories stored in them. Memory files include visual and auditory data, like a movie. AI/personality chips are the equivalent of a soul in that the AI is the product of a learning AI having experienced environments that supplied them information about the world AKA an Ai that developed a personality beyond their base programming, but they do not carry memories. For example, Eclipse V3-V4 is an Eclipse AI given incomplete memories, creating a disconnect in the AI’s learned behaviors and what it perceives as the source of that behavior, resulting in an incomplete backup. Backups are static/unchanging copies of integral memory files and the accompanying AI (As is in the moment that they are backed up.) Backups need to be updated as the animatronic it’s for develops.

RE:KMRG - END OF A WOODEN EMPIRE (THE GRAND FINALE, PART IV) (EPISODE 12)

I GOT THE SOLUTIONS!

Really?

What were they?

"MAT", "CHESS", "SEABORGIUM", "YOYO", "CUCUMBER", "VOYAGEUR", "FIVE", "POLARIS", and "SIGNALS".

Well, what are you waiting for? Enter them into the goddamn "download.exe" file already!

(I do just that, and it appears to be an image of a directory.)

"C:/MM2WD/BRIDGE/DESKTOP/BACKUP"?

Is that a directory?

Yeah, but...what kind of directory is it?

Alright. Let's do this.

(I type the directory out, and a single file is in it: "finalkey.exe". Upon clicking it, the RE:KMRG folder itself finally opens. Within it are pictures of myself, the CSB, and all our adventures prior to this one, from the PMD Event in Pokémon Square all the way to the ATO: The Spinjitsu Whip event back in March.)

So he's been gathering intel on us this whole time.

Why am I not surprised...?

Hey, there's a .EXE file labelled "portal.exe"!

I think you should run it, Kyle.

You have the honors, Kyle.

Let's fuck up Wood Man.

(I open it, and a portal to Wood Man's base opens up.)

Time to finish this.

(We all hop in.)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸🤪🚀🎱👨‍✈️🎭🪙🌊🥶🔪🪓🧣🎄✡️-

HEY WOOD MAN!

(We all hop through the portal, with him about to set up the AI core.)

You're too late. I'm finally going to do it. Sacrifices must be made for the greater good.

M.O.S.H.I., NOW!

(M.O.S.H.I. uses a magnet on the AI core, flinging it over to me, which I catch immediately.)

FUCK YOU! GIVE ME THAT AI CORE RIGHT THIS SECOND!!!

(I turn into my rainbow-colored supercharged Beast Form, "The Beginning".)

No, Wood Man. You've done enough.

You're not going to sacrifice 3 years worth of progress just to fufill your own selfish needs.

You've done nothing but hang onto the past, when you should be looking to the future.

There's only one outcome for you. To be turned to ash, right here, right now.

It's clear that you can't be left alive in any way.

You are nothing but a big bully. I have tried to tolerate your behavior for far too long, and it seems that my patience has finally run out. It was inevitably going to either way.

You're not doing anything with the SiIva AI core. And neither is your second-in-command, Anna. (bang, thwip!) Nice try with the sneak attack, by the way, but my net-shooter is faster.

You've done nothing but belittle us and put us down.

That's the very definition of a "bully".

You messed with the wrong people today.

And now you'll pay with your life.

"If you think you can mess with all of us..."

"you've got another thing coming."

Do you have anything to add, Noaka?

ggame ovver!

Indeed.

THIS GAME IS OVER, WOOD MAN!

(All of us launch a powerful attack at Wood Man and Anna, disintegrating them both and securing the AI core.)

We...we've done it.

We defeated him.

About damn time.

Hey, mind if we stay here for a bit longer?

Of course not.

You are more than welcome to stay.

Great. I don't feel like leaving yet...

M.O.S.H.I., launch the fireworks.

Affirmative, Kyle.

(M.O.S.H.I. launches fireworks, as we all celebrate our victory.)

[theamityelf]

Wait, but also, in the AU where Izuru kidnaps memory-erased Makoto, we still eventually get Kyoko finding the files on all the other students. So it's like, "Mukuro Ikusaba, the 16th student, hiding somewhere in the school. Also, there's this guy named Makoto? I don't know, he was the Ultimate Lucky Student. I don't know what that means or entails. He feels significant, too, but I don't know where he comes into play."

Except of course, she probably doesn't confide this in anyone. But there is a point in the game where she knows there's another student in their class but not what the deal is with him.

The way I'm imagining the scenario, Junko was fully caught off guard by Izuru taking Makoto, and she restructured a lot of things to accommodate that. Either she goes through with the killing game right away, which will be the case in this post, or she delays it to track down Makoto. Maybe sends the 77th class after him; that is a cool scenario to pursue.

But for now, the scenario where she just starts the killing game without him. She left Makoto's room with his nameplate and everything, so now there's a question of, "Who's this fifteenth guy clearly represented as one of us who we've never met or seen?" Then they get to the courtroom and there are sixteen podiums, and that's like...Okay, noted.

Junko doesn't kill Mukuro, because in her mind she's going to confront Izuru later because she can't let this one classmate get away unscathed, and if she wants to confront Izuru then she'll need Mukuro.

Mukuro also knows that Izuru has Makoto. She's still pretending to be Junko. She's deeply worried about Makoto the whole time.

This feels so mean, but I am going to say Chihiro survives because the idea of training with Mondo is not suggested. The reason I'm saying this is to make it so we no longer have to worry about how the group will get through the final trial without Makoto to encourage them; they have Alter Ego and they have Chihiro, so their solutions are more in the spy thriller genre than the intended hope/despair stuff. The world isn't given hope, the killing game is pretty much a bust for both sides.

When enough cards are on the table that Kyoko can talk about Makoto openly, Monokuma reacts with extreme irritation, like "Don't even say that name in front of me! I'm still pissed off that he was taken out of play so early! To put a guy like him in a killing game- that would really pull the heartstrings! But I guess you wouldn't know, since you've never met him before. Puhuhuhu~" Very different to how he reacts when Mukuro is brought up.

Maybe at some point someone asks, "Could Makoto Naegi be the masked figure who attacked you?"

And Kyoko just goes, "No. Look at his file again; Makoto Naegi is five foot three."

All of this to say: Eventually some of these kids get out of the school, get their memories back, and find out that someone took Makoto. Maybe Junko even leverages this; maybe she induces them to recover their memories so they suddenly care about Makoto and then makes it a race to see who can find him first.

Izuru's secluded place is well secured against intruders, and his entire focus has been on "guiding" Makoto to love only him. He's not paying enough attention to the broader world to know that there's a hunt on for his luckster. That Enoshima's disciples and what remains of the 78th class are searching for him, the full weights of their talents devoted to the search.

One day the power suddenly cuts off, and Izuru sits up in bed at once. Makoto's just like, "What? It's just a power outage, right?"

And Izuru goes, "We aren't connected to the local power grid; we have a private generator. And it should not have failed." He gets up to leave the room. "Wait here."

Yevette Heiser - Shares Essential Tips for Safeguarding Your Photography: How to Store and Backup Your Photos

In today’s digital world, safeguarding your photography is crucial for both professional photographers and hobbyists alike. Losing precious images due to technical failures or accidental deletions can be devastating. Yevette Heiser —Shares Essential Tips for Safeguarding Your Photography, an expert in the photography industry, offers essential tips for photographers looking to properly store and back up their photos. Whether you’re an aspiring photographer or a seasoned pro, following these tips will help protect your work and ensure your photos remain safe for years to come.

1. Use Multiple Backup Methods

One of the most effective ways to safeguard your photography is by implementing a multi-tiered backup strategy. Yevette Heiser – How to store and backup your photographs? emphasizes the importance of not relying on just one method of storage. Ideally, you should have at least three copies of your images stored in different locations. This could include:

External Hard Drives: External drives are a great way to store large quantities of photos. Make sure to use reliable brands with high storage capacity and consider using multiple drives for redundancy.

Cloud Storage: Cloud solutions like Google Drive, Dropbox, and specialized photography services such as Backblaze or SmugMug provide secure off-site storage. These platforms allow you to access your photos remotely and offer protection in case your physical drives fail.

NAS (Network Attached Storage): For more advanced photographers, a NAS is an excellent option for storing and backing up photos on a local network. This option provides both redundancy and ease of access from various devices.

By diversifying your storage methods, you significantly reduce the risk of losing your files due to a single point of failure.

2. Organize Your Files from the Start

Proper organization is key when it comes to safeguarding your photographs. Yevette Heiser advises photographers to implement a consistent folder structure right from the start. This could involve organizing photos by event, date, or project, making it easier to locate files when needed and ensuring that all images are backed up accordingly.

Consider using a file-naming system that includes the date, location, and subject matter of the shoot. For example, “2024-12-10_NewYork_SunsetShoot” helps you easily identify the image set. This method also makes it easier to track files across different backup locations.

3. Regularly Back Up Your Photos

It’s crucial to back up your photos regularly to ensure that your work is up-to-date. Yevette Heiser recommends setting a backup schedule that works for you. For example, after every photo shoot or once a week, take the time to transfer your new images to your backup drives and cloud storage. Automated backup systems can help streamline this process by syncing your photos to the cloud or external drives automatically.

4. Use Backup Software for Seamless Protection

There are many backup software options available to help automate and optimize the backup process. Software like Acronis True Image or Carbonite offers features that automatically back up your files and keep everything updated in real-time. This way, you never have to worry about forgetting to back up your most recent work.

5. Store Your Originals in a Secure Location

While digital backups are vital, physical copies of your original media should also be stored securely. If possible, keep your SD cards, external hard drives, or storage devices in a safe, climate-controlled environment. Avoid leaving them in places where they could be exposed to extreme temperatures, moisture, or physical damage.

Conclusion

Yevette Heiser’s essential tips for safeguarding your photography are practical and easy to implement. By using a combination of backup methods, staying organized, and regularly updating your backups, you can ensure that your photography is protected from unexpected losses. Whether you're storing your images on external drives, in the cloud, or through NAS systems, remember that a proactive approach to photo storage and backup is key to preserving your valuable work for the long term.

'It's erasure': One of San Francisco's most celebrated sites is at a crossroads

The site of the Compton's Cafeteria Riot is now owned by one of the country's largest private prison companies

By Timothy Karoff, Culture ReporterMay 9, 2025

For decades, one of San Francisco’s storied cultural landmarks has endured a cruel and bizarre irony: The site of a historic LGBTQ+ riot is owned by one of the nation’s largest private prison operators.

Located at what was once known as the toughest corner of the Tenderloin, 101-121 Taylor Street was the site of the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria Riot. At a time when police routinely targeted and harassed LGBTQ+ communities, a transgender woman threw a cup of coffee in the face of a police officer, sparking a 200-person riot that ended with a newsstand being set ablaze. The riot may be the first documented LGBTQ+ riot against the police. (Manhattan’s Stonewall riots took place in 1969, three years later.) 

Since the riot’s recognition in 2005 by professor and historian Susan Stryker, 101-121 Taylor at the crossroads of Turk and Taylor streets has taken on something of a sacred significance in San Francisco. The site is marked by not one, but two, plaques. It’s in the National Register of Historic Places, and the intersection is the endpoint of the city’s Trans March.

Yet today, 111 Taylor St., in that historic building, is owned and administered by the Geo Group, one of the largest private prison operators in the country. The Geo Group runs processing centers for ICE, and its facilities have been subject to a litany of civil rights complaints. The Geo Group operates a halfway house, or reentry facility, at the former site of the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot. The facility’s track record is murky: During COVID-19 restrictions, the San Francisco public defender’s office co-produced a documentary accusing the facility of overcrowding and failing to adequately protect residents from the virus.

Local activists argue that the Geo Group’s use of the building defiles the riot’s legacy. Now, for the first time in years, they may have a small chance to reclaim the building.

The Compton’s x Coalition gathers on the steps of San Francisco City Hall for a press conference on May 7, 2025.Timothy Karoff/SFGATE

Laborde, a Ph.D. candidate at UC Berkeley who lives in San Francisco, told SFGATE that if she and her fellow activists successfully appeal the LOD, the Geo Group will be forced to submit a new permit application and undergo a public review process. That would open the door for more community input — and, in an optimistic long-term scenario, could allow a group like the Compton’s x Coalition to purchase and repurpose the building.

“This gives the community a real opportunity to challenge GEO’s use of the building through a formal public process—with hearings, public comment, and community oversight,” Laborde wrote in an email to SFGATE.

The Geo Group did not answer questions about the hearing, or about its facility’s historic location, when SFGATE reached out for this story. Instead, Geo Group spokesperson Monica Hook shared a generic statement:

“Operated by GEO Reentry Services since 1989, the Taylor Street Residential Reentry Center (RRC) provides temporary housing, monitoring, and transitional services to adult individuals as they return to the community. This community-based solution provides a safe and secure residential setting as an alternative to custody or as a step down from incarceration, with the flexibility to meet the individual risk and needs of each resident.”

At Wednesday’s hearing, Tenderloin community members and local activists filed in to watch the proceedings and share public comments, quickly filling up the meeting room.

Laborde argued that she missed the initial appeal period for the LOD because the planning department failed to notify her that it was issued, in spite of her having signed up to be informed. A land use attorney representing the Geo Group, David Blackwell, said the Board should focus on whether the city actually failed to properly notify her. Blackwell emphasized that the city has no obligation to notify interested individuals when it issues LODs.

“This is not an extraordinary case, and there’s no evidence on the record to support a finding that the city intentionally or inadvertently caused the requestor to be two months late in filing the appeal,” Blackwell said. 

As the hearing moved on to public comment, community members spoke out about the Geo Group, the appeals process and 111 Taylor’s historical significance.

D’Andrea Gates-Riley, a reentry case manager, told the Board that when she was incarcerated, she applied for a spot in the Geo Group’s reentry program, but was denied on the basis of her past gender-affirming surgeries. 

A commenter speaks in front of the Board of Appeals in San Francisco on May 7, 2025.Timothy Karoff/SFGATE

“It’s erasure,” Kara Plaxa, a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton, said of the Geo Group’s use of the building. “We protect Victorian houses. We landmark libraries. But will we protect queer resistance?” 

Shane Zaldivar, who also works for OTI and attended the hearing in a personal capacity, said that the fact that Laborde received no notice from the Planning Department is a perfect example of  bureaucracy. “If there’s no way to get an update, if someone did all the things and still failed to learn and get active notifications on this appeal, how does the public get to participate?” Zaldivar said.

After public comments, Board of Appeals President John Trasviña said that the city inadvertently caused Laborde to be late in filing her appeal.

“I believe that the city has not protected the rights of Ms. Laborde, and from the testimony tonight, it’s clear that the city has not protected the rights of everyone who has spoken and who feels strongly about this issue,” Trasviña said.

“We have ample evidence, overwhelming evidence, that this is part of an extraordinary case,” he added.

It’s a small, but unprecedented, foothold. After the hearing, Compton’s x Coalition members filed out of the meeting room and lined up on City Hall’s steps for a press conference. The mood was celebratory. Two stood in front and held up a trans flag, and the group broke into chants of, “Liberate Compton’s” and “GEO out of Compton’s site.”

“This is a huge step forward,” Ezra Reaves, a member of the group, said after a wave of chants died out. “We’re going to continue to fight for the preservation of this legacy. This is not the end. This is just the beginning.”

How to Ensure Compliance with ZATCA Phase 2 Requirements

As Saudi Arabia pushes toward a more digitized and transparent tax system, the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) continues to roll out significant reforms. One of the most transformative changes has been the implementation of the electronic invoicing system. While Phase 1 marked the beginning of this journey, ZATCA Phase 2 brings a deeper level of integration and regulatory expectations.

If you’re a VAT-registered business in the Kingdom, this guide will help you understand exactly what’s required in Phase 2 and how to stay compliant without unnecessary complications. From understanding core mandates to implementing the right technology and training your staff, we’ll break down everything you need to know.

What Is ZATCA Phase 2?

ZATCA Phase 2 is the second stage of Saudi Arabia’s e-invoicing initiative. While Phase 1, which began in December 2021, focused on the generation of electronic invoices in a standard format, Phase 2 introduces integration with ZATCA’s system through its FATOORA platform.

Under Phase 2, businesses are expected to:

Generate invoices in a predefined XML format

Digitally sign them with a ZATCA-issued cryptographic stamp

Integrate their invoicing systems with ZATCA to transmit and validate invoices in real-time

The primary goal of Phase 2 is to enhance the transparency of commercial transactions, streamline tax enforcement, and reduce instances of fraud.

Who Must Comply?

Phase 2 requirements apply to all VAT-registered businesses operating in Saudi Arabia. However, the implementation is being rolled out in waves. Businesses are notified by ZATCA of their required compliance deadlines, typically with at least six months' notice.

Even if your business hasn't been selected for immediate implementation, it's crucial to prepare ahead of time. Early planning ensures a smoother transition and helps avoid last-minute issues.

Key Requirements for Compliance

Here’s a breakdown of the main technical and operational requirements under Phase 2.

1. Electronic Invoicing Format

Invoices must now be generated in XML format that adheres to ZATCA's technical specifications. These specifications cover:

Mandatory fields (buyer/seller details, invoice items, tax breakdown, etc.)

Invoice types (standard tax invoice for B2B, simplified for B2C)

Structure and tags required in the XML file

2. Digital Signature

Every invoice must be digitally signed using a cryptographic stamp. This stamp must be issued and registered through ZATCA’s portal. The digital signature ensures authenticity and protects against tampering.

3. Integration with ZATCA’s System

You must integrate your e-invoicing software with the FATOORA platform to submit invoices in real-time for validation and clearance. For standard invoices, clearance must be obtained before sharing them with your customers.

4. QR Code and UUID

Simplified invoices must include a QR code to facilitate easy validation, while all invoices should carry a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) to ensure traceability.

5. Data Archiving

You must retain and archive your e-invoices in a secure digital format for at least six years, in accordance with Saudi tax law. These records must be accessible for audits or verification by ZATCA.

Step-by-Step Guide to Compliance

Meeting the requirements of ZATCA Phase 2 doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Follow these steps to ensure your business stays on track:

Step 1: Assess Your Current System

Evaluate whether your current accounting or invoicing solution can support XML invoice generation, digital signatures, and API integration. If not, consider:

Upgrading your system

Partnering with a ZATCA-certified solution provider

Using cloud-based software with built-in compliance features

Step 2: Understand Your Implementation Timeline

Once ZATCA notifies your business of its compliance date, mark it down and create a preparation plan. Typically, businesses receive at least six months’ notice.

During this time, you’ll need to:

Register with ZATCA’s e-invoicing platform

Complete cryptographic identity requests

Test your system integration

Step 3: Apply for Cryptographic Identity

To digitally sign your invoices, you'll need to register your system with ZATCA and obtain a cryptographic stamp identity. Your software provider or IT team should initiate this via ZATCA's portal.

Once registered, the digital certificate will allow your system to sign every outgoing invoice.

Step 4: Integrate with FATOORA

Using ZATCA’s provided API documentation, integrate your invoicing system with the FATOORA platform. This step enables real-time transmission and validation of e-invoices. Depending on your technical capacity, this may require support from a solution provider.

Make sure the system can:

Communicate securely over APIs

Handle rejected invoices

Log validation feedback

Step 5: Conduct Internal Testing

Use ZATCA’s sandbox environment to simulate invoice generation and transmission. This lets you identify and resolve:

Formatting issues

Signature errors

Connectivity problems

Testing ensures that when you go live, everything operates smoothly.

Step 6: Train Your Team

Compliance isn’t just about systems—it’s also about people. Train your finance, IT, and sales teams on how to:

Create compliant invoices

Troubleshoot validation errors

Understand QR codes and UUIDs

Respond to ZATCA notifications

Clear communication helps avoid user errors that could lead to non-compliance.

Step 7: Monitor and Improve

After implementation, continue to monitor your systems and processes. Track metrics like:

Invoice clearance success rates

Error logs

Feedback from ZATCA

This will help you make ongoing improvements and stay aligned with future regulatory updates.

Choosing the Right Solution Provider

If you don’t have in-house resources to build your own e-invoicing system, consider working with a ZATCA-approved provider. Look for partners that offer:

Pre-certified e-invoicing software

Full API integration with FATOORA

Support for cryptographic signatures

Real-time monitoring dashboards

Technical support and onboarding services

A reliable provider will save time, reduce costs, and minimize the risk of non-compliance.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Failure to comply with ZATCA Phase 2 can result in financial penalties, legal action, or suspension of business activities. Penalties may include:

Fines for missing or incorrect invoice details

Penalties for not transmitting invoices in real-time

Legal scrutiny during audits

Being proactive is the best way to avoid these consequences.

Final Thoughts

As Saudi Arabia advances toward a fully digital economy, ZATCA Phase 2 is a significant milestone. It promotes tax fairness, increases transparency, and helps modernize the way businesses operate.

While the technical requirements may seem complex at first, a step-by-step approach—combined with the right technology and training—can make compliance straightforward. Whether you're preparing now or waiting for your official notification, don’t delay. Start planning early, choose a reliable system, and make sure your entire team is ready.

With proper preparation, compliance isn’t just possible—it’s an opportunity to modernize your business and build lasting trust with your customers and the government.

In today’s digital world, our smartphones are more than just devices—they're personal storage units for our lives. From treasured photos and confidential videos to sensitive contacts, private notes, and login credentials, we rely on our phones to keep it all safe. But what happens when that privacy is compromised? Whether it’s by someone snooping through your phone or a hacker trying to gain access remotely, your personal information could be at serious risk.

If you’ve been wondering how to protect your personal information from hackers, one tool that stands out for everyday users is SafeCalc. It combines powerful privacy features with a smart disguise—appearing as a simple calculator app on your phone. Let’s take a closer look at how this clever little app can protect your digital life without drawing any attention.

Hidden Photo and Video Vault

Most people store photos and videos that are deeply personal. These could be family moments, travel memories, or even private clips not meant for public eyes. SafeCalc offers a hidden vault that locks away your media files securely. Only you can access them using a private code, and because the app is masked as a calculator, no one would ever suspect it contains sensitive content.

Whether you're worried about someone borrowing your phone or concerned about data theft, keeping personal media secure is a solid first step in defending against privacy invasion.

Keep Your Contacts Truly Private

Some contacts are best kept confidential—close friends, work-related connections, or other sensitive relationships. SafeCalc includes a hidden contacts feature that stores important phone numbers away from your default contact list. This means even if someone is casually browsing your phone, these contacts won’t show up.

In cases where you might be dealing with business competitors, concerned about digital tracking, or just value your privacy, separating your personal contacts from public ones is a smart approach.

Secure Notes and Private Thoughts

We often jot down thoughts, ideas, reminders, or personal plans in our phone’s notes app. Sometimes these notes include access information or deeply personal content like journals or affirmations. SafeCalc features a secure notes locker that helps you keep this information under digital lock and key.

Unlike standard notes apps, the locker is encrypted and discreet. No icons, no flashy design—just a calculator on the surface and a secure storage zone underneath.

Smarter Management of Login Details

One of the most common habits that puts people at risk of hacking is using the same login details across multiple sites or apps. Remembering all your different usernames and access codes can be overwhelming, which leads many to cut corners. SafeCalc offers a protected area where you can store your login information, safely encrypted and easy to retrieve when needed.

This is especially helpful for people managing several online accounts, including work platforms, streaming services, and banking apps. Instead of using insecure options like writing them down or reusing old combinations, you can store them safely using a tool like SafeCalc.

Private and Secure Web Browsing

Your browsing history can reveal a lot about you—what you're searching for, where you're going online, and what kind of content you're consuming. SafeCalc includes a private browser that allows you to explore the internet without leaving behind traces like history logs or cookies.

This is ideal for those who value anonymity online, are researching sensitive topics, or simply want a more secure way to browse. It’s a practical solution for staying safe from trackers and minimizing the risk of phishing or targeted hacking attempts.

Built-In Backup and Restore Features

Even if you’ve locked everything away securely, there’s still the possibility of losing your phone or experiencing a technical failure. That’s why SafeCalc includes backup and restore capabilities. All your hidden content—photos, notes, contacts, and login data—can be saved securely and recovered when needed.

This feature offers peace of mind, especially for users who depend on their device as their primary storage. Backing up personal content is one of the most effective ways to safeguard against both hackers and accidental loss.

Why Use SafeCalc for Personal Security?

Unlike typical vault apps that are clearly labeled and attract curiosity, SafeCalc blends in perfectly. It functions like a normal calculator, making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants protection without drawing attention. The app is also designed with simplicity in mind—no complex settings or technical steps, just effective privacy in a user-friendly format.

It combines the power of multiple security apps into one: a photo and video vault, a hidden contact list, a secure notes locker, a login manager, and a private browser—all housed in an app that looks like a basic calculator.

For users looking for a discreet and effective way to safeguard their digital life, SafeCalc has become a trusted companion. Whether you’re worried about hackers, nosy friends, or just want more control over your personal data, it offers a comprehensive solution that fits right in your pocket.
