Offline asset catalog software

We're looking for software to catalog offline Illustrator assets.  We are a small studio doing design, retouching and photography.  We generate a lot of data and have 50TB offline.  We were using MediaPro but it was never very good and they just shut it down.

Do you catalog Illustrator files?  If so what do you use?

Thanks!

Craig

    I would consider Neofinder. It imports Iview Media catalogs, which I am also currently using. I haven't used it enough yet to fully recommend it, but I believe it's worth a look.

    For Windows:

    I appreciate the replies but Bridge will not display offline assets and LR will not display Illustrator files.

    Usually, people trying to catalog are only photographers, and I orient them to Lightroom Classic which does the job perfectly.

    I usually don't have so many files to store…

    Would you be working on Windows or MacOS ?

    Have you tried tweeting your questions ?

    Why not use Adobe Bridge?

    Myra, from what I understand, it's about cataloguing (which Lightroom is good at, offline drives), not exploring (which Bridge does). But I hope Craig gives us more answers.
