GetFolderInfo

I always wanted an application that would give me all the files present in a drive or a folder. Should help me in identifying the duplicate files, hidden files, old files, large files and creating a inventory of all the files in a drive/folder. 

So, I created one in my free time using C#. 
You can download the application with given link - GetFolderInfo.exe

Application Requirements -

• .NET Framework 4.0 or above (Your system might already have this. If not, download it using given link)
• Office 2010 or above (Could be backward compatible with previous versions like 2003, 2007. Let me know how it works for you)

Simple (For normal users)

1. Place the application in a Drive/Folder for which you need the information
2. Run the application by double-clicking
3. Give permission to the application to generate the Excel report
4. After successful run, it will save the Excel report with folder name as file name in the same folder. E.g. D:\Photos\Photos.xlsx

Command Line Interface (For technical users)

Open Run or Command Prompt, use the following command format -

[Application Path] "[Folder for which you need the information]" [Columns Selection]

E.g. Suppose the application is placed in the folder D:\Softwares and you need information of the folder D:\Photos. Use the below command -

D:\Softwares\GetFolderInfo.exe "D:\Photos"

Below command is incorrect & will result in error as you are keeping "\" at the end of folder path -

D:\Softwares\GetFolderInfo.exe "D:\Photos\"

E.g. If you need the information of a drive like D:\, you can use the below command -

D:\Softwares\GetFolderInfo.exe "D:"

The above command generates excel report with following columns -

1. File/Folder Name [Mandatory Column]
2. File/Folder [Mandatory Column]
3. Extension [Mandatory Column]
4. Path [Mandatory Column]
5. Size
6. Size Unit 
7. % of Drive Size
8. Creation DateTime
9. Modified DateTime
10. Accessed DateTime
11. Hidden
12. Read-only

The first four columns are mandatory in the report. You can use second argument to custom-select the next 8 columns in the report. 

E.g. If you only need columns "Size" and "Size Unit" in excel report, use below command - 

D:\Softwares\GetFolderInfo.exe "D:\Photos" 11000000

E.g. If you only need columns "Size", "Size Unit" & "Hidden" in excel report, use below command - 

D:\Softwares\GetFolderInfo.exe "D:\Photos" 11000010

Note - This is a offline application and doesn't need internet connection. It doesn't download or upload any information when internet is available.

Drop a comment if you found the application useful. If you encounter any issues with the application that I can fix or something I can customize, let me know.
