Disk Sorter Server

Disk Sorter Server is a simple-to-use software application that lets you classify your files, generate reports, and submit them to a centralized SQL database. It comes packed with several handy configuration settings.

Create custom commands for file auto-classification

Disk Sorter Server works with plugins. It has a default plugin for file classification that sorts the items based on their size (largest to smallest), showing their category, total files, disk space used, and percentage value (relative to the total disk space), along with a color-coded pie chart to tell them apart easier.

Examine and export reports

It is possible to save the report to file, as well as to edit the file classification commands regarding the command name, the source for the directories to take into account, folder exclusions (if any), along with the classification plugin type (e.g. pictures and image files, music and audio).
Classification jobs can be scheduled to run on a regular basis automatically. You can also visit the message console to investigate log details, as well as configure server login, ports, email server and SQL database settings.

Modify advanced app settings

Several advanced properties can be modified too. For instance, you can modify the default number of reports to keep and their saving location on the disk, remove system files from the equation and include hidden network shares, disable recursive directory mode, process folder links and junctions, use a custom HTML report header and footer, enable a crash log file, or ask Disk Sorter Server to request scanning permissions from the PC administrator.

Evaluation and conclusion

No error dialogs popped up in our tests and the software application didn't hang or crash. It has a good response time and minimal impact on computer performance, using low CPU and RAM. Taking into account its intuitive and powerful settings, you can definitely give Disk Sorter Server a shot when it comes to file classification.
