Audit file access for Windows file servers and cloud storage
Native Windows file auditing in Windows Event Viewer is a real pain. It takes way too much time to get half the information you need. There had to be a faster, less frustrating way to monitor file access events.
FileAudit changes that. It’s simple, efficient, and built for clarity.
With FileAudit, you get a clear, centralized view of all file access events across multiple Windows file servers or in cloud storage — all in one searchable dashboard.

Monitor folder and file access events
Monitor file and folder access in real time across Windows file servers and in the cloud.
Find the answers you need quickly with searchable reports, and tie actions to specific users thanks to IP address tracking and machine name.

Alert and respond to file access activity
Set up file access event alerts and automated responses. Detect and respond to suspicious access events such as access denied, file deletion, and mass file access events (bulk copy, delete, or file movement).

Audit folder and file access events
Simplify folder and file access auditing with a centralized file audit trail that’s searchable, secure, and always available.
Finish IT forensics faster on file access events and file usage thanks to searchable Windows file audit logs, and identify which user did what.

Track and report on NTFS permissions
Report on and track NTFS permissions, permission changes, and file and folder properties. See basic and advanced NTFS file and folder permissions, with properties such as size, creation date, and last modified date in one drill-down report.

Monitor cloud storage
Extend file access auditing to data stored in the cloud. FileAudit delivers cloud storage monitoring for files in OneDrive, SharePoint Online, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and more.
See all file and folder access events in a single dashboard, across both Windows file servers and cloud storage. With clear visibility, it's easier to quickly spot risks.
Prevent data breaches and get compliant
With FileAudit, see and react to user activity on your files and folders in real time. Clear visibility with an easy-to-use file access log helps protect data, detect ransomware threats early, and support compliance.
Protect data in Windows file servers and the cloud
Protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, theft, alteration, or deletion. FileAudit delivers real-time file monitoring, alerts, and automatic responses to suspicious file access events. Quickly identify who accessed (or attempted to access) data, changed file ownership, or modified permissions thanks to accurate IT forensics.
Prevent ransomware with real-time file access monitoring
Minimize ransomware risk by analyzing improper file access.
Get alerts on mass file encryption or ransomware-generated file extensions. Configure predefined scripts to automatically block or log off the user when an alert is triggered, stopping the attack instantly.
