Welcome to File Reporter Support

The mission of this site is to be a clearinghouse of practical information about File Reporter for current and prospective customers and partners. It is intended to be primarily support-focused as opposed to marketing-focused.

Sold by OpenText and its partners, File Reporter provides data insight on files stored on your network and in Microsoft 365 repositories, so you have the information you need to optimize and secure your stored files. It is available both as a standalone product and as part of the Data Access Governance suite where it joins forces with its sibling product File Dynamics. File Reporter is developed and supported by Condrey Corporation, the maintainer of this site.

Miscellaneous bug fixes and updated .NET Core components and third-party components provide updates and security fixes.

What is File Reporter?

With so much attention today on data management, it is imperative that you know as much information as you can about the data you are storing. That’s where OpenText File Reporter comes in. Whether you’re dealing with issues pertaining to data growth, data access governance, compliance with data regulations, privacy, data loss prevention, and many others, File Reporter delivers the detailed file storage intelligence you need so that you can address these issues.

File Reporter inventories Microsoft network file systems, Microsoft 365 cloud application libraries for SharePoint Online, Teams, and OneDrive, then provides answers to questions such as:

What files are being stored?
Who has access to confidential or high-value files?
What files are no longer relevant and should be deleted or archived?
Are duplicate files taking up disk space?
Are personal files such as music or video files being stored on the network?
Are confidential or high-value files being stored in their proper locations?
Is regulated data being stored in compliance with privacy regulations?

File Reporter answers these questions and more through a variety of reporting options including Built-in reports, Custom Query reports using SQL commands, graphical analytics tools, and even exported through other tools such as Power BI.
