You cannot export the disk space analysis report either.FolderSizes is a powerful tool for analyzing and managing hard disk space. You don’t get basic information like file count and names on a single screen. Drilling inside the directories requires you to click back and forth which is kind of annoying at times. An added feature in the app lets you find the duplicate files in the directory but this is only available for the paid users.ĭisk Space Fan 4 has paid so much attention to the UI but I found a lot of basic features to be missing. You can right click on any of the directories and choose to delete it directly from the app. The app features an extra option on top of the pie chart which lets you filter the search results based on file type like Videos, Songs, Documents etc. You double click on a directory and it opens the contents within it and you can go back and forth as you do on the native File Explorer.

On the left side of the UI, you have the directory name and size and towards the right side, you have the pie chart representation.

The UI looks much animated and the file space is represented in the form of a pie chart. You also get a free variant with limited features but for a simple disk space analysis, it seems enough. The best thing about the app is you can either choose to install it or run from a portable ZIP file.ĭisk Space Fan 4 is a paid Disk Space Analyzer and unlike RidNacks, the UI is quite animated. The app also supports the analysis of external storage devices. You can export the disk space analysis to a CSV, text or HTML report. You can choose to clean up files from within the app. The moment you select the directory you want to scan, it pops up their list with size, percentage and file count. It has a familiar Windows Explorer-like interface and you would instantly relate to it.

If you are looking for a file analyzer with minimal features and zero learning curve, then RidNacs should be the one. You even get a graphical representation of the same and some of them even go ahead in printing the analysis. They analyze the files on your disk and report information such as file size, file percentage, and duplicate files.

They are significantly small in size and give you substantial information about your storage. So, here is where 3rd party Disk Space Analyzers come in. That’s it, you cannot see file names, file size or even apply custom filters.
