Counting number of files under a path filtering by extension

Greetings,

 

We are reviewing the "Insights" tool in the assets section and it has a very useful sub-tool for us which is the counting of files with their extension. I would like to know if there is a similar tool that counts the number of files by their extension but based on a specific path.

 

For example, to count how many of these files exist under a path like "/content/dam/example".

 

Thank you very much and have a nice day

Hi,

 

There isn't an out-of-the-box report that summarizes this information. However, your best option is to use the search feature and make use of the available filters.

 

For example, navigate to the asset folder where you want to check the number of assets and do a search (using the icon), then you can use the filters to select a specific type of asset.

Hope this helps
