Local Enrichment Tools
Cloud providers like S3 and Backblaze don't analyze your files—they just store bytes. FileFortress changes that. Use local tools to extract metadata that your cloud doesn't provide, then search and filter by it.
FFmpeg / FFprobe
Extract video duration, dimensions, codec, bitrate, and frame rate from any video file—even on S3
ExifTool
Deep EXIF metadata extraction—camera make/model, GPS coordinates, lens info, exposure settings
File Hashers (Built-in)
Calculate MD5, SHA256, SHA1 hashes to find duplicates across all your clouds
MIME Type Detection (Built-in)
Detect true file types from file signatures, not just extensions
