Publisher's Description
From Sequoia:
SequoiaView is a disk browsing tool based on the principle of treemaps, with one unique feature added, namely Cushion Treemaps, invented by Jack van Wijk. The principle is simple: each time a rectangle is subdivided, ridges are added. The result is a pattern of hierarchical cushions that show the structure in the directories and files. The user can set the height of the ridges as well as using lower ridges for deeper nested levels, offering a choice between displaying global information (high level directories) or detailed info such as individual files. The user can also choose between the original cushions and the squarified cushions.

"Find wasted space easy and effectively"
Version: SequoiaView 1.3
Pros
I absolutely love sequoia view and have put it on every computer I own. It finds things that would take a while to hunt down and displays them as a piece of art. Gray boxes show you what files are the largest and tells you where they are.
Cons
None, I have an SSD and I am not sure if I am causing harm by running it. I do have TRIM support so I think I'm in the clear.

"Insanely fast and great for culling files - brilliant!"
Version: SequoiaView 1.3
Pros
For displaying every file on your drives in an easy to use geometric view, I'm still amazed how fast it can display every file compared to any desktop search. Yet it's a tiny file that takes a second to install.
Cons
absolutely none!
Summary
You have no reason <not> to get this. It's utterly and totally worth it (and free!).

"Brilliant - see your largest files at a glance"
Version: SequoiaView 1.3
Pros
Windows is particularly poor at identifying which files are consuming most disk space. This product represents your files as differently sized 'boxes', allowing you to identify the largest ones and browse straight to their folders
Cons
I like everything about this product - Microsoft should include is as part of their baseline utilities.

Summary

"STILL Easiest Program to Use..."
Version: SequoiaView 1.3
Pros
- Quick visual view of your drive conents
- Can be separated by drives and directories
- Color mapping makes assesment of space even easier
- "Boxes" arranged in groups according to directories (trees)
- Small, quick and easy installCons
- GUI is a bit outdated (but honestly, who cares?)
Summary
This is a no-frills, no-nonsense utility that allows you to see where your hard drive space is allocated. I've used it on many client's machines when they could not figure out why their HD space was low, even after using standard clean-up utilities.
I install SequoiaView and we are able to almost immediately identify problem files and directories (folders) that can be trimmed down, moved and/or backed up to portable media. I would HIGHLY recommend this software - especially since it has no problems with Vista 64 (tested and works perfectly). -

"Excellent Tool for Finding Redundant Files"
Version: SequoiaView 1.3
Pros
SequoiaView scans your harddrive and then creates a picture of all the files on it using rectangles of different sizes. The picture is useful and strangely beautiful, you can choose to view a specific folder of the whole drive. There are options to open a file or the folder it is contained in. I was able to clear 40GB of files off my machine from temp folders that I didn't know existed, forgotten files, and eight versions of Quicktime installers that Apple had decided I needed back up copies of. You can specify colors for different file types, which is very useful for finding certain types of files. A very useful application.
