What it is

Folder Size analyzes Windows storage to identify large files and folders and display disk usage in bar and pie charts. It scans local and external drives, USB and flash drives, SD cards, NAS, SAN, and network shares. A File Explorer right-click menu can start a scan of a folder and its subfolders. Results include lists such as largest, oldest, newest, empty, and longest-path items, with export to Excel, CSV, or XML. The application also lets users cut, copy, paste, delete, and move files or folders. Scan data can be saved and loaded later to compare results over time. The maker says scans run locally and data such as file names and folder sizes are not uploaded. A free plan is available. Personal costs 24.95 USD as a one-time fee for a license that never expires; Professional costs 39.95 USD as a one-time fee and adds command-line automation. The listed requirements include Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, or Windows Server 2008 or newer, at least 1 GB RAM, and 10 MB of disk space. Folder Size cannot scan symbolic links.
