![]() The immediacy and effectiveness of this approach is phenomenal. Once you click to select one drive FolderSizes starts automatically to scan your selected hard disk and within a few seconds it starts displaying a very simple and apprppriately designed horizontal bar chart showing your directories/folders as bars of differet lenghts. Once you are inside FolderSizes, you have a top left vertical pane in which you can see all of your drives and network resources. ![]() FolderSozes achieves this effortlessly and without requiring you to learn anything but to click on the drive you want to "see". If and when Microsoft Windows will incorporate an extra pane of view, providing the file size factor to be represented visually, we will gain a lot in usability and ability to manage effectively our space.įolderSizes does an amazingly good job at anticipating something Microsoft should have built-in its Mac clone since the very beginning. Our great limitation in being able to "see" where the space is occupied is determined by the fact that we only have a textual description for our files, along with a visual representation of their location (the Windows explorer tree). As the name correctly implies, this simple and well designed utility allows you to effectively find out which are the files and directories that have become memory hogs in your mass storage system.Īt times we realize, for example after a computer crash or after having lost some major work, that there are huge files in our system, but we are not really sure of where they are.Īlas as the Windows operating system has grown more rich and complex it is difficult to find the places where temporary files may be stored or to identify other folders containing lots of data that we have forgotten about. Let me introduce to you a wonderful little jewel: Folder Sizes. Visual Hard Drive Navigator Shows At-A-Glance Where Your Space Hogs Are
