hi Aaron,
Assuming that the "any environment" you mentioned here are all Microsoft environments, then there are multiple ways for you to be able to extract this data.
If the files are sitting in Azure File storage then you can use the Azure APIs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/get-file-properties
If the files are sitting in Microsoft 365, you can use Content Search in the Compliance center: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/ediscovery-content-search
If the files are sitting inside Windows 10/11 you can use Powershell and point it to a location and get this data. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-itemproperty?view=powershell-7.4
