Scanning File Shares using Spirion (formerly Identity Finder)

By default, Spirion will only scan drives physically connected to the computer. If you want Spirion to scan network drives, you must set Spirion to scan custom locations.

Scanning custom locations is a two-step process: Allowlisting the location, then choosing to scan the custom location.

Allowlisting Custom Locations

  1. From the Advanced panel, go to Configuration, then select Settings
    2. Settings option under the Configuration tag

  2. Select "Custom Folders" from the left panel of the window that pops up
    3. Custom Folders option in pop up window

  3. Click on the triple-dot button right next to the field to input a folder path
    4. Triple-dot button to input folder path

  4. Select the folder or drive you want Spirion to Scan, then press OK
    5. Browse for Folder window

  5. Press Add, then Apply.
    6. Include or Exclude Folders while Searching Window

Choosing Custom Scan Locations

  1. From the Advanced panel, go to the Locations tab
    2. Locations tab in the Advanced panel

  2. Select "Custom Folders" in the ribbon bar at the top
    3. Custom Folder Option under Locations Tab

    This will set the scanner to scan ONLY the folders listed in the Custom Folders list

  3. Start the Scan
    4. Start button

If you want to scan the computer's drives AND the network drives or other custom locations, you must add ALL of the drives to the Custom Folders list, or else they won't be scanned when choosing the Custom Folders location for scans.
