AI is transforming the way organizations manage their files: semantic search, generation, analysis, and process automation. But connecting AI to files scattered across email, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, and internal shares involves three risks: losing control over access, exposing sensitive data to third parties, and paying multiple times for the same data.

The result: concrete criteria for choosing a file-based + AI architecture that will stand the test of time.
