I can find size of a folder by Windows Explorer ‘Properties’ menu. Why do I need ShowSize?

in Usage notes, Why use ShowSize?

But, you can’t compare sizes of different folders using Windows Explorer because it doesn’t list all the folder sizes in a single report.

It would be a painful process to see the properties for each folder, then write down the folder sizes on paper and compare them.

ShowSize gives you convenient reports listing the sizes of all the folders. Moreover, you can sort this report in a different order, for instance, by increasing or decreasing folder sizes.
