File Type Analytics & Action Module

Module Summary:

Analyzes file types and categories across file servers and enables actions such as cleanup, archiving, and relocation based on customizable policies.

Key Features and Use Cases:

File Type & Category Reporting

Use Case: The IT department needs to understand the distribution of file types (e.g., videos, images, executables) across the file servers. FolSec provides categorized reports for visibility and planning.

Duplicate File Detection

Use Case: Storage is filling up quickly. The admin uses FolSec to identify and remove duplicate files across shared drives.

Stale File Identification

Use Case: Files not accessed in the last 3 years need to be archived. FolSec detects and lists stale files with detailed metadata.

Age-based File Actions

Use Case: Files older than 5 years in the “Archive” folder must be moved to cold storage. FolSec automates this based on predefined policies.

Targeted Cleanup Operations

Use Case: The security team wants to remove all .exe files from a shared folder. FolSec filters by file extension and initiates bulk deletion.
