Show Folder Sizes In Windows
Microsoft's Windows Explorer is the core file management application in Windows and is central for the proper functioning of the operating system. One of the features that Windows Explorer is missing though is the ability to display folder sizes. This is a feature that most users need but has never been implemented by Microsoft.
There are many reasons why folder sizes are missing in Explorer. A major one is the performance issue. Displaying folder sizes requires an analysis of all files and folders. If Windows Explorer had to constantly calculate and list folder sizes that would severely impact the overall performance of the system. While it is nice to have this information it is not necessary all the time and sacrificing performance is not justified.
Folder Size provides what Windows Explorer is missing. Complete list of all folder and file sizes together with all the important properties. Beyond just listing the sizes, the tool provides details about the largest folders and files inside a folder and all its sub-folders. Just right-click a folder in Windows Explorer and select "Scan with Folder Size".
Folder tree visualization and sorting by size, name, files count, sub-folders, count, date, and all other major folder attributes make it easy to analyze the data. In addition to that, there are beautiful pie and bar charts that make it easy to spot space hogs. Clicking the chart items will navigate to the corresponding folder or file in the details view.
Automate folder scan by using command line parameters. Save the current folder sizes states in a project file for further analysis or export the data to CSV or XML file. Print folder tree together with folder and file sizes - the easiest way to print folder. Endless options for file and folder analysis.
