Analyse filetypes and file duplicates

Hi community

is there a way to check all files located in sharepoint?

- File extensions

- duplicates

-  ...

Reason: we have stored about 3.1 milion files with a total amout of 10TB

I will reduce this. now I search a way to analyse the stored files.

 

thank you for hints

 

regards

    Finding duplicates can be done using scripting but the gain is likely to be limited. You may get a bigger reduction in storage by looking at the document versions. They count towards your storage quota.
