Folder & File Size Reporting
Point FolderSizes at your local or network file system(s) and let it go to work. You'll soon have a clear picture of how and where disk space is being used - locally and across the network. This comprehensive analysis empowers you to make informed decisions about storage optimization, cleanup, and capacity planning.
Detailed Insights Into Your Storage Infrastructure
Understanding storage consumption patterns is essential for effective IT management. FolderSizes provides detailed, actionable reports that break down disk usage by folder, file type, age, owner, and more. The software's advanced scanning engine delivers accurate results for any storage medium—including local drives, network shares, removable media, and cloud storage connections.
Analyze and explore disk space usage on any storage device type. Folder size analysis results are displayed dynamically, as the file system scan progresses - giving you immediate results. This real-time feedback allows you to identify major storage consumers without waiting for complete scans of large file systems, saving valuable time during urgent cleanup operations.
Customizable Reporting Options
FolderSizes offers extensive customization options to tailor reports to your specific needs. Filter results based on size thresholds, file attributes, date ranges, or naming patterns. Sort data by multiple criteria to prioritize your storage management efforts. Export reports in various formats including CSV, Excel, PDF, and HTML for sharing with team members or including in documentation.
The report interface provides both high-level summaries and granular details:
- Summary statistics - Total files, folders, size, and distribution metrics
- Folder hierarchies - Drill down through nested folder structures
- File details - Examine individual file attributes including size, dates, and ownership
- Comparison data - Contrast logical size versus allocated size on disk
- Historical trends - Track storage growth patterns over time with saved reports
Powerful Visualization Options
Visualize the size of entire folder structures with bar, pie, and treemap charts. All visualizations are available in light and dark display modes, ensuring optimal visibility regardless of your working environment or personal preferences. These intuitive visualizations transform complex storage data into easily digestible graphics that highlight problem areas at a glance.
Each visualization type offers unique benefits:
- Bar charts - Ideal for comparing relative sizes of folders at the same hierarchical level
- Pie charts - Perfect for understanding proportional distribution of storage among top-level folders
- Treemaps - Superior for visualizing complete hierarchical structures with nested relationships
Switch between visualization types with a single click to gain different perspectives on your storage data. Zoom in on areas of interest to explore specific branches of your file system in greater detail.
Enterprise-Grade Performance
FolderSizes is engineered for performance, even when analyzing massive storage systems. The software utilizes:
- Multi-threaded scanning - Leverages modern multi-core processors for faster results
- Optimized file system access - Minimizes system impact during scans
- Efficient memory management - Handles large directory structures without excessive resource consumption
- Incremental scanning - Updates existing results rather than rescanning entire file systems
These performance optimizations make FolderSizes suitable for everything from personal laptops to enterprise storage systems with petabytes of data across thousands of shares.
