Quota & File Sentinel Explorer Add-on

The Quota & File Sentinel Explorer Add-on is an optional utility developed by NTP Software for integration with their Quota & File Sentinel product. The latest version available is 1.0, and it's categorized under System Utilities with a focus on File Managers. Despite being in its initial release, version 1.0, it already proves to be a valuable tool for those managing storage quotas.

The utility allows users to view status information on Quota & File Sentinel limits within the familiar Windows Explorer Properties dialog. With this, users can check the size of a Quota & File Sentinel quota limit set on an object, find out if the object is below, nearing, or surpassing its limit, and see how much space is left. It's particularly useful because it doesn't require users to leave Windows Explorer to check these details, making it highly convenient.

Since the Quota File Sentinel Explorer Add-on is a “read-only” tool, it offers essential status information without the capability to correct over-limit situations directly. Users will need to manually trim the size of the object or reset the quota policy if limits are exceeded. This ensures that end-users can gain visibility into their quota statuses without risking accidental changes.

One of the pros of this utility is that it allows installation on multiple machines, enabling end-users to keep track of their limits seamlessly. It's also beneficial for administrators, providing a straightforward way to monitor quotas without additional training or complex interfaces.

However, a con is its limitation as a “read-only” tool. End-users might find it inconvenient not to be able to correct over-limit situations directly through the add-on. Advanced users might prefer something more integrated that permits modifications.

For those interested, the Quota & File Sentinel Explorer Add-on is available for download, and although it's not free, its functionality in maintaining and viewing storage quotas makes it a worthy consideration for system administrators and business environments needing reliable quota management.
