Windows Explorer and macOS Finder can show you what is inside a folder, but neither can turn that view into a spreadsheet. If you need a file list from a folder — with names, sizes, types and dates — for an audit, a handover, or simply to clean up your drive, you are usually stuck copying file names by hand.
This guide shows a faster way: generate a complete file list from any folder and export it straight to Excel, including the largest files, duplicate names, and a ready-made cleanup report.
A spreadsheet lets you sort, filter and search in ways a file explorer window never will. Once your folder is in Excel, you can rank files by size, group them by type, filter by date, or highlight anything that looks like a duplicate — all with a few clicks instead of manual scrolling.
Every file with name, path, type and size on one sheet.
Instantly ranked so you know what to review first.
Repeated file names flagged across sub-folders.
Old and oversized files tagged for review.
Scan any folder and export a complete Excel report in seconds. No upload, no account.
Scan My Folder →Instead of opening every sub-folder and eyeballing sizes, the report includes a dedicated "largest files" sheet, sorted from biggest to smallest with the full path attached. This is the fastest way to see exactly what is eating up your disk space, whether it is old video exports, forgotten installers, or a bloated project folder.
Duplicate file names often pile up when photos get copied across devices or documents get re-saved into new folders. The report cross-checks file names across every sub-folder in your scan and flags repeats, so you can decide what to keep without manually comparing folder after folder.
Beyond a raw list, the workbook also tags files by age and size so you get a practical cleanup list — the files most worth reviewing first, rather than a wall of data with no direction. It is the difference between "here are 4,000 files" and "here are the 30 files you should probably deal with."
No. The scan runs entirely inside your browser. File contents are never read or transmitted — only file names, paths and metadata are used to build the report, and everything stays on your device.
