File Attributes Report
FolderSizes shows you the distribution of files by NTFS attributes across one or more drives, folders, devices, and network shares. This can help you identify areas where disk space is being consumed by files that are read-only, compressed, encrypted, etc., enabling better management of storage resources and security posture.
Security and Resource Optimization
Use this report to find opportunities to optimize and secure storage resources by applying NTFS compression, encryption, or other attributes to files. Quickly determine if the presence of hidden, system, and read-only files is consistent with your expectations and security policies.
Key attributes monitored include:
- Compressed - Files using NTFS compression to reduce storage consumption
- Encrypted - Files protected with NTFS encryption for security
- Hidden - Files not visible in standard directory listings
- System - Files marked as essential to operating system functionality
- Read-only - Files protected against modification
- Archive - Files marked for backup operations
