File Types

The following container types are supported as both upload containers and for processing:

Canopy does not support multipart archive files, which include formats such as multipart PST and multipart ZIP files. If you have a multipart archive, please combine the parts into a single archive file before uploading.

The following file types are supported and tested by Canopy for processing. Canopy takes a best effort approach for processing files not contained on this list, therefore, supported files extend beyond this list:

The following unsupported files will force fail during processing:

Once the processing pipeline determines a file matching one of the following Media Types, the file will be marked as skipped and removed from further processing.

Currently, processing skips the following files by media type:

Currently, processing skips the following files by extension:

• .out
• .pack
• .pbxproj
• .abcdp

• .afm
• .atom
• .axf
• .bin
• .c++
• .cc
• .chm
• .class
• .cpp
• .cxx

Canopy processes and displays all file types, even those not listed in our standard documentation above.

The File Type field in the Filter UI uses a unique value search filter type. When you click on the filter, you’ll see a dropdown list of every unique file type detected in your data.

• 2,000 or Fewer Unique File Types: Each file type will be listed individually for easy selection.

• 2,000+ Unique File Types: To keep the browsing experience smooth and the Filter UI easy to navigate, Canopy groups file types into two categories: Standard and Non-Standard.
  • Standard File Types include all file types listed in the Supported, Unsupported, or Skipped categories above. These file types are listed individually in the Filter UI.
  • Non-Standard File Types include all file types not covered in the standard list. These are grouped together in the Filter UI.
    • To find a specific Non-Standard File Type, users must enter the exact file extension (e.g., .xyz) in the search box.
    • Users can filter multiple Non-Standard File Types at once by searching and selecting multiple extensions from the filter search results.
