File Information

Basic File Details

Get information about stored files:

// Get file information
var fileInfo = await storage.GetInfoAsync("documents/report.pdf");

// Access basic properties
Console.WriteLine($"Name: {fileInfo.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"Size: {fileInfo.Size}");
Console.WriteLine($"Last Modified: {fileInfo.LastModified}");
Console.WriteLine($"Content Type: {fileInfo.ContentType}");

Security Information

Access security-related metadata:

// Check security settings
Console.WriteLine($"Is Encrypted: {fileInfo.IsEncrypted}");
Console.WriteLine($"Is Quantum Encrypted: {fileInfo.IsQuantumEncrypted}");
Console.WriteLine($"Is Public: {fileInfo.IsPublic}");
Console.WriteLine($"Is Compressed: {fileInfo.IsCompressed}");

File Properties

Storage Properties

Access storage-specific information:

// Get storage context
Console.WriteLine($"Storage Path: {fileInfo.Path}");
Console.WriteLine($"Directory: {fileInfo.Directory}");
Console.WriteLine($"Full Path: {fileInfo.FullPath}");

File Status

Check file status and validity:

// Verify file existence
if (await storage.ExistsAsync("documents/report.pdf"))
{
    var info = await storage.GetInfoAsync("documents/report.pdf");
    Console.WriteLine($"File exists and is {info.Size} bytes");
}

// Check file accessibility
try 
{
    var info = await storage.GetInfoAsync("secure/file.dat");
    Console.WriteLine("File is accessible");
}
catch (StorageException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("File is not accessible");
}

Batch Information

Get information for multiple files:

// Get info for all files in directory
var directoryFiles = await storage
    .In("documents")
    .ListAsync();

foreach (var file in directoryFiles)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"File: {file.Name}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Size: {file.Size}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Encrypted: {file.IsEncrypted}");
    Console.WriteLine("---");
