I'm far from the "microsoft people" that you describe, lol. TreeSize Professional shows you the size, allocated and wasted space, the number of files, 3D bar and pie charts, the last access date, the file owner, the NTFS compression rate and much. Find out which folders are the largest on your drives and recover megabytes on them. (All this is typed up on my Librebooted ThinkPad T430 running Fedora 35 over a TP-Link Archer C7 router running OpenWRT, paired with my phone running Lineage OS. TreeSize Professional is a powerful and flexible harddisk space manager. The only thing we can strive to do is to make the FOSS alternative better, if we want it to actually succeed. I'm a vagrant supporter of FOSS but even I know that most people don't care about it if the FOSS alternative sucks. TreeSize Free also adds a convenient scan option to Explorer, so you can right-click any folder in File Explorer and Windows Explorer and select TreeSize Free to scan its contents. It can search through entire flash drives, internal hard drives, network drives, and external hard drives, or you can use it to analyze just a single folder from within those storage mediums. Essentially, I was asking why WinDirStat appears to be seemingly circumventing "the norm".Īdditionally, keep in mind that I'm not attacking FOSS. TreeSize Free uses a familiar folder interface to help you sort through the largest folders and files on your computer. The whole point of me starting this conversation is because WinDirStat didn't seem to offer anything over the proprietary alternative. See: Audacity/Ardour vs Adobe Suite, Darktable vs Lightroom, OBS Studio vs (every other streaming software), Windows Media Player vs VLC/mpv It only ever really matters when the FOSS alternative either reaches feature parity or becomes better than the proprietary one.

See: kdenlive vs Resolve/Adobe Suite, LibreOffice vs MS Office, GIMP vs Photoshop, Inkscape vs Illustrator. A piece of software being FOSS doesn't really matter if it lags behind the competition, either in functionality or UX.
