Windows File Server auditing

[dawks]

I'm looking for a tool to give me better insight into my file server. Things like what new files have been recently added, who added those files, who owns files, where 10gigs of space went in the last week, etc. Something more than Disk Inventory... I've tried TreeSize Pro, but it doesnt do quite what I want..

Any other good tools you can recommend?

You could use this [Security Settings\Local Policies\Audit Policy: Audit object access] policy to audit file create, added or delete events. Please refer to this article:

Otherwise, You may try this tool to achieve this.

Hope it helps.
