What metadata fields are included in the report?

Each file record includes the filename, size in bytes, MIME type inferred from the file extension, and filesystem creation and modification timestamps. The original files are not modified.

Can I use this to audit a batch file transfer?

Yes. Upload the received files and the resulting JSON report gives you a verifiable record of exactly what arrived — file names, sizes, and timestamps — which you can compare against a transfer manifest.

What file types does this tool support?

The tool accepts PDF, Excel (xlsx/xls), CSV, DOCX, TXT, PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, ZIP, and JSON files. Batches can include up to 50 files or 2GB total, whichever comes first.

Is MIME type detection reliable for compliance purposes?

MIME type is inferred from the file extension, not deep file inspection. For most archiving workflows this is sufficient, but you should note in your documentation that detection is extension-based.

File Metadata Reports for Document Archiving and Records Management

Records managers need more than folder names to prove what they have and when they got it. The File Metadata Report tool generates a structured JSON report capturing file size, MIME type, and filesystem timestamps for every uploaded file — no manual logging required.

Document archiving workflows depend on accurate, reproducible file inventories. Whether you are validating a document transfer, preparing for an audit, or confirming retention schedules, knowing the exact size, type, and modification date of each file in a batch is non-negotiable. Manual metadata collection from file explorers is error-prone and does not scale beyond a handful of files.

Deliteful processes up to 50 files per batch and returns a structured JSON report for each — consistent format, no spreadsheet reformatting needed. The output is machine-readable and drops cleanly into records management systems, audit logs, or compliance documentation.
