KBDesk
KBDesk is an extremely easy to use and absolutely FREE (no shareware, no adware etc.) Document Management System (DMS), Knowledgebase management (KBMS) as well as File Management System.
Unlike Web based DMS which are hard to use. KBDesk is developed as a Windows Tool. Use your existing windows experince (like click, drag and drop etc.) - nothing to learn new.
How KBDesk is different from others
Most of DMS/KBMS available now are working over web platform. Using web based systems is good for an enterprise where different offices/sections are located at dispersed locations need to access same data. Or if users are working mostly from remote locations and connecting to central office.
But if in an office everything works over LAN, or users are working at their home and want to organize their data then using Web based DMS/KBMS doesn't seem to be an right option (unless you have a good reason for it).
KBDesk is primely developed for
- offices where documents/information has to be stored locally at a centralized location available over LAN.
- individual people like Home users who want to organize there data/information/documents.
What one can do with KBDesk
As a knowledgebase management system, KBDesk can be used to store -
- notes that you may recall later
- web snippets - fractions of web pages

As a document management system, KBDesk can be used to organize your files.
