Filename Extension Report

The Filename Extension report presents data grouped according to the filename extension. This report helps determine file types that you do not want stored on your network drives. For example, you can easily identify who is storing .MP3 or .MOV files.

NOTE: File extensions in File Reporter are limited to 32 characters. File extensions longer than 32 characters are considered part of the file name and not as an extension.
