File Audit

File Audit is small software application designed with a single goal in mind: to keep an eye on the changes made to directories stored in your computer.

It sports a clean and simplistic interface that allows users to configure the dedicated parameters directly from the primary panel. Unfortunately, you cannot drag and drop the folders directly into the main window, so you should use the built-in browse button instead.

What’s more, you can apply file filters and make the application include subdirectories in the search process as well.

File Audit gives users the possibility of selecting the changes to be monitored by the application for the selected folder, namely file attributes, file name, directory name and security attributes.

All the changes tracked by the program are saved to a log and, before proceeding with the procedure, you are required to specify a saving directory. You can also make the program display the generated results in the main window and clear the entire list with just one click.

If you have added a large directory to the list and the task takes too long to finish, you can stop it.

During our testing we have noticed that File Audit carries out a job quickly and without errors throughout the entire process. Since it doesn’t bundle many configurable settings, even a less experienced user can get an idea of how this program works.

File Audit is a handy application that packs only a few features for helping you monitor the changes made to your directories. It’s easy to work with and doesn't slow down the system.
