I am searching for an open source document management system to:

  • Add my GIS (Geographic information System) documents.
    (All kinds of files: .shp ,.mdb, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, .gdb, .tiff, .bmp, .dwg)
  • Store them on cloud storage (I don't have my own server).
  • No space limit or document number limit.
  • Backup and restore my documents.
  • Document workflows.
  • Email notification for each change.
  • Version control.
  • Operate on Windows 7 and 8.
  • I don't need sharing and authorization options

I found OpenKM, Dokmee, Zoho Docs, LogicalDOC, NOOMAC Document File Manager, EisenVault, and Doccept but these are all not free.

Where can I find a free open source one?

I found Kimios DMS and SeedDMS winch is continuation of a project known as LetoDMS. the Kimios DMS is written in Java so you'll need to run it on Tomcat, Jboss or a compatible application server that can run jsp. SeedDMS is a Php app. both of these will run on windows that being said most of the software of this kind is web based these days.

    This doesn't look like an answer to the question. What is your recommendation to use?

  • Welcome Aarathi. Your post is a bit confusing. What software are you specifically recommending? Are you recommending Paperlez, to which you embedded a link? If so, is it open source? Please make your recommendation clear. Also, if you have any affiliation with Paperlez whatsoever, please include that information clearly in your answer. Thank you, and again, welcome.
