We have a file share that we would like to keep, but have it mapped to sharepoint so it can be searched. I know I can do this with a page viewer web part, but is it also possible to upload documents to the drive through Sharepoint?
I am not able to find a solution that accomplishes both viewing and uploading to the share. Is this possible?

I am new to SharePoint Online, but haven't found anything via Google: I have tons of files (read: terabytes) stored on my filesystem and on a cloud storage and want to access their metadata to allow searching for them. Is this possible without uploading them into SharePoint Online? It should also be possible to "sync" the hierarchy of the crawled folder so I can click through the folder structure in SharePoint. I do not want to store the content of these files though (for storage space reasons).
It is like having a synced folder in SharePoint where the files are searchable, but they are just shortcuts of some kind, without content.
I thought of creating some sort of timed job which crawls the file system and creates empty files in SharePoint which contain the metadata and a link to the file, but this seems very crude to me. Is there a better solution or maybe even something SharePoint Online itself provides?
// edited: I need to crawl not only files on my filesystem but also cloud storage files of different cloud storage services.
// whoops got that wrong, it is SharePoint Online, not 2013.
You can add the file share as one of the sources. SharePoint will be able to crawl & Index the files in the file share.
Steps on how to do it can be found here...
How to: Configure Enterprise Search to index a file share
What I want to do
I have some files (jpg, doc) with keywords in theirs file attributes (visibles in the Windows Explorer, in the files properties). I want to be able to find them in a Sharepoint Search website from these keywords. Unfortunately, I don't find a way to set the crawl engine to index this file attribute.
What I've done for now
In the Sharepoint Search Administration I've created a source content from a files share. After a full crawl I can now find my files from their filename, title, author... through a Sharepoint Search website.
Any idea ?
thank you
I found this interesting post : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/feee374d-461e-4340-918a-c360116e3624/including-dockeywords-metadata-for-searching
This is exactly what I want to do but nobody seems to be able to make it work. Microsoft bug ?
The goal: I am wanting to be able to search attachments' contents located on my google site via my site's search box. Attachments such as a google doc or google sheet's contents.
The problem: So I have a file cabinet on my google site which is populated with files from some folders in my google drive. If I search for a keyword in a document on my google site, the search returns with no results. If I do the exact same search in my google drive, I get the result I expected. Is there a way to enable this functionality in my google site?
I have not found a way for files loaded into the file cabinet via Google Drive to be searchable. However, if you upload files in their native format (.docx, .pdf, etc.) from your local disk they are parsed, indexed and then searchable.
I not possible to search a file into Cabinet , if you want a solution , you take this gadget.

You have some data on your spreadsheet ( data , file , ... ) and This gadget show your data.
Simple and better if you want StringFilter and other Filters , and your file is on your drive.
I wish to made available a functionality that searches in all pages and content inside all the documents (word, excel, pdf, etc.) present in our SharePoint Server 2007 that all the users uploaded.
Anyone could tell me if this is possible?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Yes, this is one of the main selling points of SharePoint - that all content, whether pages or documents can be crawled, indexed and searched.
(Most) Office documents are indexed natively by SharePoint, whereas PDFs are an example of a file type that require an iFilter to be installed on the server in order to make the contents searchable.
May as well mention too that search results are security trimmed - users only see search results for content that they have permission to access.
I have uploaded a doc file on SharePoint site. Now I want to know the path of the file on the server (System).
If you uploaded it into a SharePoint document library, then it's not on the filesystem. It's in a SharePoint content database. If you can elaborate on what you want to do with the file, it will be easier to recommend ways to attack the problem and get the info you need.
It is saved in the content database. That's why you can't find it on disk.
