TreeSize Free

It’s not uncommon for someone to be unaware of how much space certain files on their system really occupy. Even in the age where storage pricing has seen an increase in affordability, users should still exercise caution when storing large chunks of files on their machines.

Charting and managing the sizes of certain apps and folders can get jading after a while, especially when you’re doing that by yourself. Luckily, apps to help you better visualize the storage cost of the elements on your drive do exist, and TreeSize Free numbers among them.

TreeSize lays out the information clearly and concisely. Per its name, folders on your drive are displayed as if they were branches of the main drive, each extending in accordance with their storage heft.

Shedding light on the space allocation on a drive thus becomes much easier with TreeSize. By featuring multiple ways of viewing the compartmentalization of your storage, users can be made aware of where their drive incurs the most use.

They can view used storage by sorting after file size, allocated space, file count, as well as a percentage to signify space taken. These options are all shown right as you open and browse through the app.

Following up on the tree branch user interface, upon clicking a folder, users get the option to extend and rescan, along with the ability to exclude those from the storage quota perceived by the app.

They can also view the number of subfolders present within a folder, and the expand function makes it easier to delve into the storage-dense, more populous branches, again staying true to the name of the app.

The features and capabilities of TreeSize have a lot of utility. Especially now, in the age where a terabyte no longer seems indomitable, the added value of an app like TreeSize is tremendous.
