I already use another disk utility to see folder sizes. What is different in ShowSize?
Good question. The reason you came to see ShowSize indicates that for some reason, you are not satisfied with this other utility. Here are some distinct advantages of ShowSize:
Designed for optimized performance:
- Great capacity for huge listings and their printout
- Most of the operations are cancelable
- Disk scan data is cached
- Superior design, higher speed
- No memory leaks
Please read all about it in a separate topic ShowSize is fast!
Software focused on size reports: Don’t settle for a do-all file manager utility that can’t do full justice to the task of reporting the folder sizes in all the different formats that we support. If you think a little, you’ll get the idea. It’s plain common sense. It is the difference between going to a general consultant and to a specialist.
If you are serious about knowing your disk space better, go for the specialist. Use software that is dedicated to reporting the folder sizes. See what difference a “focused” utility like ShowSize makes. And, if you continue using it, please buy the licensed version to support our efforts.
Bonus utility features and reports other than Folder Sizes:
- File Types Report
- Unused Files Report
- Active Folders Report (not available in ShowSize PE)
- Only Files Report (not available in ShowSize PE)
- Folders and Files Report
