FILE TYPES REPORT

Q: How do I see which file types are using the most disk space?

Scan a drive, folder, or network share in FolderSizes and open the File Types report. It classifies every file by extension and shows the total size, size on disk, and file count for each type, so you can sort by size and immediately see which file types consume the most storage.

Q: Can I group file types into categories?

Yes. The File Categories report groups related extensions into user-configurable categories - for example .docx, .pdf, and .txt as Documents, or .jpg, .png, and .gif as Images - so you can analyze storage by category as well as by individual file type.

Q: Which file types and extensions does FolderSizes report on?

FolderSizes reports on every file type it encounters during a scan, identified by file extension - documents, spreadsheets, images, audio, video, archives, executables, and more. You can also use advanced search to filter by specific extensions or file types.

The File Types report, shown below, classifies files by type based on file extension (e.g. .doc, .xls, .jpg, etc.). Complete file size, size on disk (allocated size), extension, and count information is shown for each file type.

Double-click any file type report row to view a list of files that match the associated file type.

FolderSizes also offers a File Categories report, which groups file types by user-configurable categories.

The file type graph view can switch between bar and pie graph modes. The bar graph view is shown above.

Find Out Which File Types Use the Most Disk Space

The File Types report groups files by extension so you can see exactly how much storage each type consumes - documents (.docx, .pdf, .xlsx), images (.jpg, .png, .gif), video (.mp4, .mov), audio (.mp3), and archives (.zip, .rar). Sort by total size to find the file types eating your disk space, then drill in to the individual files behind any type. Pair it with the File Categories report to group related extensions together, or the Largest Files report to target individual space hogs.
