Claim 14:
15. A method for providing a cloud-based centralized, user-managed hub to organize and retrieve media stored in a plurality of cloud services, the method comprising:
providing, with an electronic processor, a first user interface to a user for creating and managing an index associated with an entity;
receiving, with the electronic processor, from the user via a first user interface, a first link generated via a first cloud service to first media stored in the first cloud service;
in response to receiving the first link, storing, with the electronic processor, the first link in the index associated with an entity;
receiving, with the electronic processor, from the user via the first user interface, input for performing at least one of sequencing, organizing, and describing media accessible through the index;
receiving, with an electronic processor, input from the user selecting the entity;
in response to receiving the input selecting the entity:
accessing, with the electronic processor, the index associated with the entity, the index including a first entry including the first link to the first media stored in the first cloud service, and
providing, with the electronic processor based on the index associated with the entity, a second user interface for accessing and using the index, the second user interface including first data regarding the first entry;

in response to receiving a selection of the first data, redirecting, with the electronic processor, the user from the cloud-based hub to the first media stored in the first cloud service, and
displaying a tree structure including a plurality of nodes and, in response to selection of one of the plurality of nodes by the user, displaying an index for an entity associated with the one of the plurality of nodes, wherein the tree structure represents a family tree and each node of the plurality of nodes represents an individual in a family and wherein a first node of the plurality of nodes is associated with a first icon and a second icon, the first icon selectable by the user to access media associated with a first individual represented via the first node and the second icon selectable by the user to access media associated with the first individual represented via the first node and a second individual represented via a second node of the plurality of nodes.
