FolderSizes Professional Edition

A Powerful and Useful Tool

It seems that every day, more and more of your precious hard drive space is eaten away. Some of the reasons for this are obvious (like huge media files), but there are also unseen forces at play, like unused and temporary files, and even duplicate files that you aren't even aware of. You'd like to clear up some space, but you're worried about deleting something important! What you need is an effective way to manage disk space usage, one that begins with FolderSizes!

FolderSizes is different from other disk usage apps, because it offers a visual, intuitive way to instantly see what's taking up the most space on your drive! With FolderSizes, the most common culprits -- large files, old files, temporary files, and duplicates -- are quickly isolated for your review, letting you quickly reclaim hard drive space without risking deleting critical data. You can even view reports as bar charts, pie charts, and map graphs.

If you want a deeper level of analysis before housecleaning, FolderSizes gives you a multitude of options that allow you to filter scans by file name, date, owner name, and more -- imagine being able to isolate just how much space a specific network user is using! Or compare disk usage patterns from different points in time!

The latest and greatest version of FolderSizes offers native 64-bit support enabling scalability -- enough to run scans on the hugest of networks with ease. Plus, you can now save multiple snapshots of file system analysis data to XML for later research and comparison. And as networks grow in size and complexity, FolderSizes has evolved to meet these challenges, with new support for analyzing multiple file system paths concurrently!

S B FolderSizes Pro looks like well-conceived, powerful software, and is apparently actively being developed; it looks nice. (Key Metric also makes the great Duplicate File Detective [which I enjoy] which is the best of its category)

For years I've happily used the highly-recommended grand-daddy of this category, JAM Software's TreeSize Pro (network admins use that company's automated, database-based SpaceObServer).

FolderSizes Pro's power seems similar to that of TreeSize Personal (a smidgen cheaper than this offer) or Professional.

How does FolderSizes Pro compare with TreeSize Pro?

Thanks!

Jun 11 2011 at 9:33am

Software Guy Very powerful software. Directory Opus fans will like the power of this software. This is really designed to watch network computer usage, so many users may not need all of this power for their disk space reporting needs. As an example, most users don't need snapshots of disk usage in the past. If you just want to see what is on your disk, or use basic filters to sort old files by date and size (as an example), the graphical utility (portable) spacesniffer is free
http://www.uderzo.it/main...ce_sniffer/
check out the videos at their site

and directory report does much of the same AND much of the work of key metric's other utility - duplicate file detective - for cheap
http://www.file-utilities.com/ please have a look at their videos. cutting graphical interface? - no but good basic file manipulation including user and size reporting

Another optiion - spacesniffer and a duplicate file finder may work well to manage space for many users. Several excellent utilities have been offered here in the past. Also remember that glary utilities is a free and powerful duplicate file finder http://www.glarysoft.com/...-utilities/
and has within it many other great utilities - if you do not already know about it please check it out.

Jun 11 2011 at 7:59pm

Roberto great tools. I use spacesniffer, but ill switch to foldersizes.

duplicate file detective is another great tool from keymetric, totally recomended.

both tools helped me to make a good cleaning of my hard disks.

a good complement to this ones is "search everything" from void tools.

policy is great too.

ill buy this one :)

Mark Richards Hello folks,

> How does FolderSizes Pro compare with TreeSize Pro?

It's difficult for a software company to be objective with regard to such comparisons, so I would ultimately urge users to try both products and see which best suits their needs.

FolderSizes has a large user base that includes most of the largest companies in the world. I believe they choose FolderSizes over competing products for many reasons - including performance, usability, and features (email support, calculated date/time fields, etc.).

Speaking of features, here's one worth noting - FolderSizes has *native* 64-bit support. Many competing products are 32-bit applications, period. They will run on 64-bit operating systems using the Windows WOW64 emulator, but they will never have the scalability and performance characteristics of true, native 64-bit applications.

In cases where a feature in FolderSizes is similar to that of a competing product, our goal is simple - do it better, and let users decide whether or not we've succeeded.

> many users may not need all of this power for their disk space reporting needs

Absolutely, FolderSizes is *not* designed to compete with simpler freeware solutions. The goal is to offer a lot more power (scheduling, email integration, numerous export options, XML snapshots, comparison support, etc.) for a reasonable price that includes technical support and continuous product improvements.

Key Metric Software Vendor - Jun 12 2011 at 8:13am

bob roos I was very impressed with this program. It looks very complete. One thing I didn't see (and have asked the author for) is saving of the details of all the files and then producing the reports (largest, by name.....) from the saved data.

I hope the deal pops soon.

Jun 12 2011 at 10:21am

Staley Tried the trial and I can't wait... looks like a really nice product. Especially since Raxco PerfectDisk 12 Pro just took the disk consumption tools out of their feature list. (Which I am not saying is good or bad. It's a defrag utility anyway...)

One question, can one change/skin the map graph? (The mode with all the boxes.) Since with them all shades blue that are close to each other, it's hard to make out the data compared to higher contrasted maps like in SpaceSniffer and TreeSize Pro (which I tried for the first time also.)

I like TreeSize Pro colorful 3D mode and SpaceSniffer has a easier (however not as pretty as FolderSizes Pro or TreeSize Pro (blue is one of my favorite colors, next to red...)

Being able to select the color set or range would be a cool and useful option for the map mode...

Jun 13 2011 at 5:22am

Mark Richards Hi Staley,

One question, can one change/skin the map graph?

You have good timing; we're working on on this right now. We'll be providing a set of color palettes that can be applied to all the graphs shown in the product (not just the folder map).

In fact, we'll probably release this update later today. Please download the latest release tomorrow morning (the day of the BDJ promotion) and see if the new graph palettes suit your needs. If not, email us at support@folderSizes.com and we'll work on it with you.

Key Metric Software Vendor - Jun 13 2011 at 7:42am

Lupke Brother I use duplicate file detective from this company. Great product. Tested Foldersizes. Great product too. Maybe a bit to much for some people, but a very powerfull piece of software.

Jun 13 2011 at 8:56am

Staley Mark,
I tried the new release. It's better, but it would be nice if you could select the different colors/create custom color schemes. Like making the drive type grey, the folder type blue, the file type red, etc...

Basically like what SpaceSniffer can do...

Experience This developer were very kind to me once by providing me a discount just by sending them an email asking, a time when I were little short of money (thanks again), since then there have been numerous of updates & improvements.

I do track changelog of FolderSizes and this shows how responsive they are.
--
Version 5.1.18 (Released June 13, 2011)
Feature: Introduced color (palette) selection mechanism for charts. See the Theme button in upper right corner of main window.
Feature: Minor theme tweaks.

It's a great program and I will promote this deal via Twitter & Forums, unfortunately I've missed the recent deal for Duplicate File Detective which is also very nice.

Jun 13 2011 at 4:10pm

Mark Richards Hi Andrew,

Thanks again for the feedback. We have a host of improvements planned for the folder map view in upcoming releases, and we'll definitely look at adding some color customizations along these lines (e.g. different colors for different file system object types).

Key Metric Software Vendor - Jun 13 2011 at 4:45pm

Mark Richards Hi Bionic,

Thanks very much for the kind words, and for your continued support. You demonstrate a lot of class, and we're really glad to have you using our software products.

Key Metric Software Vendor - Jun 13 2011 at 4:54pm

Richard Andersen I must say I find the license policy a bit confusing:

"Licensed per user for non-concurrent use only, allowing transfer of a license to another owned computer."

The first part seem to indicate that one user can install and use one license on more than one computer, as long as he only use it on one computer at time, and no one else uses the program.

The second part seems to indicate that one license can be installed on one computer only.

Could you perhaps clarify a bit?

Jun 13 2011 at 11:46pm

Harald Vogel Hello Mark,

I still use Version 4 of Foldersizes. Will there be also a discount for the upgrade to V5 today?

Thanks

Jun 14 2011 at 1:04am

Peter B. who can say something about the most important differences between Treesize professional and Foldersizes professional? Just a little help to buy the right one of these two. They both work good, but there might be some advantages or disadvantages between the two I overlooked.

Jun 14 2011 at 4:46am

Experience @Peter
Maintenance for TreeSize are 12 months & FolderSizes are by major version.
http://www.foldersizes.co...eNotes.htm

You could visit there and do the math.

FolderSizes have native 64bit support which TreeSize do not have and vice versa TreeSize have support for portable installation which FolderSizes don't have. (Portable installation of FolderSizes would be nice Mark)

Personally I've integrated FolderSizes with Directory Opus using it's commandline options which works great.

Jun 14 2011 at 6:20am

bob roos I am officially an licensee. This is really a well thought out program, Mark.

Is there an option to save the details for each file found? I have a large NAS and FS gave me the scoop on the folders. I would love to have a list of all the files and their paths so I could write a program to search that list to locate files quickly on the NAS. Search Everything doesn't work on network drives.

Also if you saved the details of each file, would that not make the special reports faster rather than re-searching?

Thanks Bob roos

Jun 14 2011 at 6:38am

Mark Richards Hi Harald,

We don't currently offer a discount on upgrades through Bits du Jour, but if you contact us directly (sales@foldersizes.com) we'd be happy to arrange something for you.

Key Metric Software Vendor - Jun 14 2011 at 6:43am

bob roos I just discovered I can get exactly what I wanted with a file list (well up to 1,000,000 files). Specify the oldest file report, change the number of files to be displayed to 1,000,000 and then export the results to a tab delimited file.

Thanks again for a great (and flexible) program.

Jun 14 2011 at 9:14am

Chuck Exceptional tool... Thanks for the deal!

Jun 14 2011 at 12:20pm

Michael R. Just downloaded the demo and played around a little with it... Seems to be a very powerful asset...

An interesting thing are the command-line-options which would allow to embed the program into a batch-file. But when trying these out, e.g. entering 'foldersizes.exe /path:"e:\tmp" /export:"d:\myreport.html"' the program itself opens um (as window) and nothing is written in the d:\myreport.html. Is this a restriction of the trial-version?

Is it possible to get a really big image-.file of the map-graph? Ideally that big that all the sub-directories would fit into it? As far as I can see I just get the image-resolution of the part of the screen it is displaying currently.

Thinking about for what I could use it, I am wondering if your tool could read all my external harddisks (one after the other), store their contents on the internal harddisk and let me search for files in that complete-file-list. So I could find out, which external harddisk I have to connect with my computer to get the desired file... (Or perhaps rephrase it in a more general way: Is it possible, after the contents of an external harddisk is saved, to do all the things (reports, check free partition-space, check double files...) on this saved-filelist instead of the drive itself, so I do not have to connect the drive itself with the computer? I think such a possibility would be very helpful..)

Thanks a lot...

Jun 14 2011 at 1:41pm

bob roos @ Michael R, I am using in to catalog files on my NAS. It should be very similar to external hard drives. Use the Search icon, select your path to the external drive, set the filter for *.* and START. You can save the results as XML or export as other types.

Jun 14 2011 at 1:57pm

Michael R. @bob ross: Thanks for the answer. But the point of my question was not, if it is possible to do all the stuff on external drives, which are CURRENTLY connected to the computer, but to do this at a time when they are NO MORE connected with it. (Therefore their state has to be stored locally and the calculations have to be done on this list).

Jun 14 2011 at 2:07pm

bob roos @ Michael R, In order to get folder sizes the drive must (of course) be connected. Then you can do as I outlined and get the list of files on the drive. Unplug the drive and browse the list of files (or lists of files) all you want. Save each list with the name of the drive so you know which is which.

If you mean will Folder Sizer import the lists so you can browse them there? I don't know. I will write my own program to manage the lists for searching.

HTH, Bob

Jun 14 2011 at 2:29pm

´H. H. Hallo,
trying foldersizes the following questions occured.
1. is there a possibility to easily switch the levels when using map-graph? what I mean is, e.g. when clicking on a field of level 4, easily to switch back to level 3,2 or 1 (not havint to use the tree-view at the left side) ? - it would mean a kind of return button - or even better the possibilit to open different levels of map-graph in different tabs.

2. will the graphical intervace be more customizable in the future? (e.g. choosing fonts- fat and color of map-view)? I´m asking this, because my impression is, that the competting software treesize allow to see more at a first glance, although foldersizes may have advantages at a second glance.

3. thank you a lot for offering duplicate file detective at bdj,:I tried out a lot of similiar software, but for whatever reason, I didn´t discover duplicate file detective until it was offered at bdj. I made the decision to buy it and really can recommend it to toher customers, iduplicate file detective is much more versatile than other clone-detecting programs (to company: integration in windows explorer could be a futre improvement), I really dont want to miss this piece of software

with kind regards
H.H.

Jun 14 2011 at 3:38pm

John Killeen @Bionic -- I'd be interested to know more about exactly how you integrate FolderSizes and Directory Opus

Jun 14 2011 at 4:12pm

bob roos @Bionic, me too please.

Jun 14 2011 at 4:18pm

Stephane M @Bionic, the same here ;)

Jun 14 2011 at 5:01pm

Mark Richards Hi Folks,

Just wanted to work through a few unanswered questions posted here.

> [Command line interface not producing expected results] Is this a restriction of the trial-version?

No, there are no functional limitations in the trial version of FolderSizes (just time limited). We have thousands of companies using the command line interface daily - please shoot us an email at support@foldersizes.com and we'll figure out why it's not working for you.

> Is it possible to get a really big image-.file of the map-graph?

Sure, you can use the settings in Options|Export to get graph images of any size you like.

> I am wondering if your tool could read all my external harddisks (one after the other), store their contents on the internal harddisk and let me search for files in that complete-file-list.

Sorry, this is not a function supported by FolderSizes at this time.

> is there a possibility to easily switch the levels when using map-graph

If I'm understanding your question correctly, you can use the "back" button in the main window toolbar (just below the ribbon bar) for this purpose.

> will the graphical intervace be more customizable in the future?

Absolutely, we're always working to improve customization support. If you'd like to tell us specifically what kinds of customizations interest you, please don't hesitate to email us at support@foldersizes.com.

Finally, this BDJ promo is nearly at an end and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their comments, inquiries, and support. You've made our participation in BDJ a really great experience.

Key Metric Software Vendor - Jun 14 2011 at 7:22pm

Experience well.. perhaps irrelevant for the sale but guess i could post some snippet for a common file report, these are just examples and if you use dopus you know that customization are endless, i mean you can integrate/create dialouges, toolbars, docked, floating, bars that you can toggle on/off etc..

set dopus @ "customize" copy & paste snippets.

two example buttons: /filereport:"largest"
http://pastebin.com/DPJJhhSC

all foldersizes command line parameters are located in the help file.

Jun 14 2011 at 7:28pm

Michael R. Hello Mark and thanks for the answers.

Unfortunately my main-reason to buy for this buy was not implemented (yet).

I have a number of harddisks and most of them have to be built into a chassis to make them connectable to my laptop-computer. Of course I do not want to do all of this every time I am looking for e.g. certain files...

So I think, it would be a great extention of your program to allow all these operations not only on a currently accessible partition, but also a snapshop of a former existed and saved partition-content, i.e. a kind of virtual partition.

So, when saving this information, it would also be possible to check on one computer, what on another with no direct LAN-connection is and e.g. which programs yet have to be installed there.

Do you have any plans to implement such kind of feature in the future?

Jun 14 2011 at 9:28pm

John Killeen @Bionic -- thanks for taking the time to provide the examples. Much appreciated.
