Downloading FileSieve
There is a free edition of FileSieve that is available for use; it is restricted in specific ways.
Please see the Edition Comparison page for a comparison between the different versions.
FileSieve is currently only available as an installer; a portable version may be released at a later date.
To use FileSieve 4, you will need to meet the following minimum requirements.
A Windows operating system that is either Windows 7 Service Pack 1, or Windows 8.1 or higher is required. This is an indirect FileSieve requirement; version 4.8 of the Microsoft .NET framework requires at least this version of the OS.
If you're using pre-Windows 7 SP1, you can instead use the previous FileSieve 3 release series.
FileSieve 4 has been built on the .NET framework, specifically version 4.8. Please note that the Full version of the framework is required, and not just the Client version that is shipped with some Windows-equipped PCs.
