Plus 1 for DiskCatalogmaker.

I use DiscCatalogMaker on my Macintoshes.  It stores drive catalogs in a database that can be placed on DropBox or any other cloud drive, making the database accessible anywhere.  Cataloging is just as easy.

We use Neofinder as well. Anyone working from home can just remote-in via TeamViewer to one of our shared, always-on workstations and access it that way (and do a thousand other things as well). Upgrading to TeamViewer Enterprise was one of the best productivity improvements we've ever made. You don't need cloud services or VPN's if you have a well-managed TeamViewer ecosystem - it does pretty much everything, and cross-platform too (Mac, Windows, Linux). Like Timbuktu used to be, only better.

My company has been using NeoFinder for the past five or so years to index our project and archive SATA hard drives.

It works great - launch the program, drag in the drive and presto! The hard drive gets indexed and cataloged. Now it's searchable and anyone in our office with the NeoFinder software can search all the drives to find old jobs, project files, raw media, etc.

BUT - it really only works when connected to the in-office server. VPN from home? Nope.

There is a ton of DAM software out there that can search a DAM server (or cloud server) but doesn't work for removable / external SATA hard drives.

I have a library of more than 200 SATA drives (plus backups) sitting on a shelf that I want to have a cloud-based updatable catalog, that is searchable through a web interface.

Anyone heard of something like this?

Thanks in advance.
