Designing A File Explorer

Archipelago

Archipelago Analytics handles property insurance data for companies like Amazon and BlackRock. Their online platform handles massive data sets.

Navigating Data

Since clients were submitting hundreds of files for their properties every week, it made sense we would launch a file storage solution. In a future iteration, this feature would let you pinpoint the exact files containing the data you're looking for. But for the first iteration, it would just need to work.

I didn't want this to be just another file exploration. So I designed a unique value proposition: filtering and organizing capabilities that would let you find what you need faster. Ideally our search function should work like magic, but we weren't at a point where we could offer that yet.
