Executive Summary

Many knowledge workers and teams today spend substantial time hunting for files that live in different SaaS silos—individual contributors, project managers, and IT admins all feel this pain in organizations large and small; there are roughly 300 million knowledge workers globally, suggesting a large addressable base. The symptom is predictable: duplicated content, missed context when files are left in the “wrong” storage, and slowed projects when access and provenance are unclear. You could build a light-seat SaaS that connects to major endpoints (Drive, OneDrive, Box, Slack, Notion, Figma, email stores), computes vector embeddings and semantic metadata, and exposes a project-centric virtual workspace that reclassifies and surfaces files without forcing a costly migration. Priced around $200/year per seat — consistent with the $60B TAM estimate — the product would combine secure, permission-aware connectors, fast semantic search, suggested reorganization actions, and admin controls for compliance; the market score (92/100) and revenue potential (86/100) reflect strong demand and monetizability given current trends. This market is attractive now because cloud fragmentation, mature vector/LLM tooling, and remote/hybrid work create both the technical feasibility and the buyer urgency to pay for regained productivity. To stand out you should prioritize non-invasive virtual organization (so users keep their source storage and permissions), enterprise-grade security and auditability, and active learning loops so suggestions improve with user feedback; these are defensible differentiation points against medium-competition incumbents. Honest challenges include heavy engineering to build and maintain many secure integrations, the cost of scalable embedding and vector storage, and the need to demonstrate clear time-saved ROI to overcome enterprise procurement friction.

Market Opportunity

Files trapped in the wrong storage — cross-system semantic reorganization targets a $60.0B = 300M knowledge workers x $200/year (light seat SaaS for personal file organization & search) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 18% — productivity SaaS and enterprise search have steady, mid-to-high growth driven by remote work.

Key trends driving demand: Cloud fragmentation -- users now store files across multiple SaaS and cloud storage endpoints, increasing demand for unified search and organization.; Semantic search maturity -- vector embeddings and LLMs let systems understand file meaning, not just file names, enabling intelligent reclassification.; Hybrid/remote work -- distributed teams need project-centric access regardless of storage silo, increasing willingness to adopt cross-system tools.; Privacy-first enterprise tooling -- demand for on-prem/tenant-local embeddings and encryption-aware indexing is rising, shaping buying criteria..

Key competitors include Dropbox Business, Google Workspace (Drive + Cloud Search), M-Files, Mem, Algolia / Coveo (search-as-a-service providers).
