How to Easily Report Hard Drive Utilization for Windows

Have you ever wondered, “Why am I out of Hard Drive space?” or “Who is using up all the Drive space on the Server share?”  Today at work, I asked myself that VERY same question, and after a quick Google search & download, I installed a nice little piece of FreeWare called – TreeSize Free.

TreeSize Free from JAM Software is a simple little APP that displays either Megabytes or Gigabytes OR % Used.

The interface takes just seconds to learn/understand, and the installer also Adds a Right Click Context Menu to Windows Explorer for quick research!  All I know is that it sure beats the OLD way I used to do it. (Right-click on a Folder and Click Properties to check the size of the folder and subfolders.)

Although the FREEWARE version was good enough to solve my problem at work (user filled up our File Server Cluster with MP3 files), JAM Software also sells a “Professional” version which comes with all the bells and whistles – including graphs and all kinds of other tools/features.

Grab a copy HERE to play with it.  It’s a small install, and you should be up and running in no time. I grabbed that version back in the day, so you might want to check its website link above for the latest version.
