Editor's review of MC FolderSize
stars
- "MC FolderSize"
- Version reviewed: MC FolderSize 1
The freeware application adds a folder size column to Windows Explorer's detail view, but fails with a single feature. MC Foldersize lacks an interface, and simply installs to the Windows Shell Extension folder.
There is really no operating this tool. The application loads automatically when Explorer's detail view is invoked. It correctly measures the size of the files in each folder and displays the amount in kilobytes or megabytes for the entire folder. Some systems take a few seconds to calculate the space used by the folder, but testers found the wait very short.
Explorer allows column sorting, but the MC Foldersize column fails to sort with the rest. That snag aside, this is a freeware application that proves a snap to install and fills a gap by providing folder size information.

Version: MC FolderSize 1
"Works..But needs Improvement"
Pros: It does add the extra column in the detail view but did not give the size of my folders in my documents but did give file sizes.
Cons: Most of my file sizes it read incorrectly.77kb was actually 76.5kb, It read 93kb on a file that was 92.1, 261kb on a file that was 260kb. While this may be very minuscule to some, it is not an accurate reading as readings go.....but it is free so can't really complain.

Version: MC FolderSize 1
Pros: Really wouldn't know...
Cons: Ah, an add-in for Windows Explorer just like the good old Folder Size, a feature that should have been included in Vista anyway. But no, there's an 120 default options to choose from, but there's no option to choose a column for the folder size.
Guess it's just the same as the forementioned Folder Size add-in: correct installation, but no extra option to choose from. At least Folder Size is honest about it's vista-incompatibility...
