Clearing the Confusion: Taliho Isn’t Just Cloud Storage—It’s a Gateway to Seamless Information Access

Many assume Taliho is primarily a cloud storage platform. While Taliho does accept data and stores it using AWS services, the platform’s real power lies in its ability to point users directly to the project data they already have stored across different platforms. Taliho functions as a “smart connector,” directing construction professionals to critical project information on-demand, wherever that data may be.

Let’s explore why Taliho is more than a cloud storage solution and how it simplifies data access by leveraging the tools you already use, minimizing the need for additional uploads, and providing options for efficient data management.

Taliho’s Core Purpose: Direct Access, Not Just Storage

Taliho’s role is simple yet transformative: enabling construction teams to access vital project information through QR codes at the point of need. Whether it’s a drawing, submittal, or other essential documents, Taliho is about accessing—not storing—that data with minimal friction. QR codes created through Taliho can be linked to files across various storage solutions, including cloud platforms like Google Drive, OneDrive, and specialized platforms such as Procore.

For many Taliho users, entire project files are already organized and hosted on a cloud service. Taliho acts as the bridge, directing users to this data without duplicating storage or imposing a need to upload files to another platform. This approach reduces redundancy, saves time, and preserves the organization you’ve already built within your existing systems.

Integration with Procore: A Model of Efficiency

For Procore users, Taliho’s integration adds even greater value by seamlessly connecting project data with Taliho’s QR codes. With a single click, Procore files can populate Taliho’s QR codes, simplifying information sharing and ensuring accuracy. This efficient, point-and-click setup offers a significant advantage for Procore users and mirrors the simplicity that Taliho brings to users with Google Drive, OneDrive, and other commonly used cloud platforms.

Data Storage with Taliho: Designed to Be Flexible and Manageable

Although Taliho’s primary focus is on connecting users to their existing data, the platform does offer data storage capacity through AWS services, providing flexibility for clients who may want or need to upload files. Each Taliho plan has specific storage limits, and while these are generous, we understand that construction projects can be data-intensive. For that reason, Taliho includes tools to help you manage and maximize your allocated storage.

Taliho offers several ways to monitor and manage your storage usage. We actively track your data use and alert you when your storage threshold is approaching, allowing you to take proactive steps to avoid overages. And, if needed, you can manage uploaded files within Taliho itself, hiding or password-protecting documents that are temporarily or permanently unnecessary. These tools help keep your data accessible while staying within your plan’s storage limits.

For clients hosting large projects in external cloud services, Taliho’s pointing capability is particularly advantageous. By linking to these existing resources, users can rely less on Taliho’s internal storage, ensuring they never exceed their plan’s storage limits while still having full, immediate access to their project data.

Less Data Redundancy, More Seamless Access

One of Taliho’s strongest advantages is its ability to minimize data redundancy. With Taliho, there’s no need to upload files in multiple places. If your documents are stored in Google Drive, OneDrive, or Procore, you can simply link the QR codes to these locations and retrieve information as needed. This reduces the burden of storing large files and managing multiple copies, freeing up space for data that may need to be uploaded to Taliho servers and creating a streamlined data access experience for your team.

Conclusion: Why Taliho is a Smart Connector, Not Just Cloud Storage

To call Taliho a “cloud storage platform” misses the true intent behind its design. Taliho is a bridge to your data, a way to make construction project information accessible on the job site without redundancy or complication. By allowing users to link to existing cloud storage, it reduces the need for uploads and lowers storage costs, while still providing ample support for users who prefer to keep data within Taliho’s AWS-based storage.

With Taliho, accessing data doesn’t mean duplicating it. Instead of storing all your files on Taliho’s servers, you can easily “point” QR codes to existing data housed on various platforms like Google Drive, OneDrive, or even custom websites. This approach not only simplifies the workflow but also reduces redundancy, ensuring that your team is always looking at the latest version of the document—no re-uploads or versioning confusion needed.

For those who use Procore, Taliho’s integration mirrors this convenience, allowing users to populate QR codes directly from Procore without transferring files to Taliho. Similarly, when projects are managed through services like Google Drive or OneDrive, linking those documents to Taliho is straightforward and maintains the efficiency Procore users experience, creating a seamless connection between platforms and the field.

Managing Data Efficiently with Taliho

While Taliho does offer storage on AWS, it provides practical solutions to control how much data you actually need to store on its servers. Many Taliho plans have data storage limits, but we give users tools to manage these limits proactively. For instance, you can select which files truly need to be uploaded to Taliho, while linking to the majority of your data stored elsewhere, effectively controlling the data load on the platform.

Additionally, Taliho actively monitors data usage and alerts users when they approach their plan’s threshold. This ensures that you’re always informed, preventing any unexpected interruptions or overages.

The Takeaway: Taliho is a Gateway, Not Just Storage

Rather than being just another storage solution, Taliho serves as a powerful gateway for construction teams to access real-time project data from a range of sources. With flexible options for data management and seamless connections to popular storage platforms, Taliho ensures that the information you need is always at your fingertips—without overwhelming your storage capacity or adding extra steps.

In summary, Taliho gives you control over your data, allowing you to work with the cloud services you already trust while still having the option to store select files on the Taliho platform.
