Apparatus and method for cloud based storage using a multi-layer scannable tag

A method of file and document retrieval comprising;

• scanning a first layer of a multi-layer scannable tag by a camera or scanning device;
• or receiving an indication that the multi-layer scannable tag has been scanned by a first user;
• assigning the first layer of the multi-layer scannable tag to the first user;
• receiving an image, audio, video, or other file from the first user;
• storing the image, audio, video, or other file in a location in cloud storage;
• generating one unique URL link wherein that URL link is associated with the multi-layer scannable tag, the URL link also pointing to the location in cloud storage;
• linking the multi-layer scannable tag with the location in cloud storage using the URL link;
• tagging the image, audio, video, or other file with said multi-layer scannable tag;
• wherein such tagging is accomplished by means of the use of a mobile application, computer program or similar electronic device;
• retrieving video, audio or other files tagged and associated with said first layer of the multi-layer scannable tag;
• playing the video, audio or other file tagged with said multi-layer scannable tag by embedded player;
• scanning another layer of a multi-layer scannable tag by a camera or scanning device;
• or receiving an indication that the multi-layer scannable tag has been scanned by a second user;
• assigning the another layer of the multi-layer scannable tag to the second user;
• receiving an image, audio, video, or other file from the second user;
• storing the image, audio, video, or other file in a location in cloud storage;
• generating one unique URL link wherein that URL link is associated with the multi-layer scannable tag, the URL link also pointing to the location in cloud storage;
• and
• linking the multi-layer scannable tag with the location in cloud storage using the URL link.

An apparatus for tagging, the apparatus comprising a memory storing instructions which, when processed by one or more processors, cause:

• generating a multi-layer scannable tag that comprises a plurality of unique scannable layers;
• receiving an indication that the multi-layer scannable tag has been scanned by a first user;
• assigning a layer of the multi-layer scannable tag to the first user;
• receiving an image, audio, video, or other file from the first user;
• storing the image, audio, video, or other file in a location in cloud storage;
• generating one unique URL link wherein that URL link is associated with the multi-layer scannable tag, the URL link also pointing to the location in cloud storage;
• linking the multi-layer scannable tag with the location in cloud storage using the URL link;
• tagging the image, audio, video, or other file with said multi-layer scannable tag;
• wherein such tagging is accomplished by means of the use of a mobile application, computer program or similar electronic device;
• receiving an indication that the multi-layer scannable tag has been scanned by a second user;
• assigning another layer of the multi-layer scannable tag to the second user;
• receiving an image, audio, video, or other file from the second user;
• storing the image, audio, video, or other file in a location in cloud storage;
• generating one unique URL link wherein that URL link is associated with the multi-layer scannable tag, the URL link also pointing to the location in cloud storage;
• and
• linking the multi-layer scannable tag with the location in cloud storage using the URL link.
