How to Export Explorer File Lists to Excel

Microsoft's Windows Explorer can not export or save a list of files and folders to a text or csv file. That is why we provide the FREE FOLDER SIZE EXPLORER tool which can export the file and folders list to multiple formats. Exporting the files to CSV ( Comma Separated Values ) you can open and edit them instantly in EXCEL. You can also view and edit CSV files in your favorite text editing application.

Folder Size Explorer can export the files and folders list and structure to XML (Extensible Markup Language) too. The XML file format is more flexible than CSV and can represent a tree structure of the folders and files.

You can export a single folder and/or its files or export the entire folder tree and all its sub-folders and files. You can also export the file and folder sizes as a pie and bar chart graphics. Below you will find information on how to export Explorer file lists to Excel and other file format.

Export Files List to CSV (Excel), or XML

There are multiple reports in the tool and all of them can be exported. You can also export the folders list to CSV and XML or export files and folders list combined. You can also export the entire folder structure including all files and folders.
