As far as I know a lot of what you can see in properties -> details tab (i.e. in Windows) is both filetype dependent as well as OS dependent to some extent. I don't know whether Appian has a way of finding this info (or whether it even exists for an uploaded document), though hoefully there's someone else who has more familiarity with these particular properties and can add more commentary on it.

I want to read the file / document Tags (We can find the tags in the document properties details) for Microsoft documents which are uploaded into appian.

Is there anyway we can use the ContentService Interface to achieve this and if yes where can I find the implementation class.

Please let me know if you want to know anything else about my requirement.

I'm afraid we're going to need more detail as to what you're actually wanting before being able to give you any implementation hints...

What is your use case? Exactly what/which "file classification details" are you looking for - what would they look like and where would they be seen in my local file folders, for example? I'm familiar with standard Windows file attributes (which aren't transferred to Appian in any way as far as I know), but none of them match the ones you initially listed (i.e. public, internal, restricted)

Any suggestions for any appian plugin or function or class ?

As far as I know, files in Appian don't have such properties.
