File Activity (PC/Mac)

File Activity (PC/Mac)



The KnowIT file activity tracker lists whenever any file on the computer is created, deleted, copied or renamed.

It will show the file action, the file name and the date and time the action took place.  You can also click the flag button to flag any information of interest for future review.

You can also filter the data by selecting a start date and end date or choosing one of the displayed date frequencies (e.g. last 7 days) using the calendar buttons displayed on-screen to quickly find the information you are looking for.
