How to get information regarding the usage of files in 2 folders in the sharepoint site.

Hi,
technically this is possible utilizing the Auditing Infrastructure which is available also in WSS 3.0. Difference to MOSS 2007 is, that there is no nice UI to enable/configure auditing - it must be done programmatically as well as creating the reporting part.
I have not used this recently hence just some links for further information:

Hi Rainer,

thanks for your post, is the auditing option is available in sharepoint 2007 or 2010 (free version) at the file level and can be enabled through GUI? if yes kindly kindly advise us on this.

Hi,
the auditing infrastructure is including in WSS 3.0 as well as SharePoint Foundation 2010.
The only difference to the corresponding server editions is the lack of a nice GUI for activation or reporting.
But at least for WSS 3.0 there are plenty of good articles (and a public solution for this) which you can use:
