• best utility for storage

  willb_2kOctober 3, 2011

  Pros

  does what it says. counts all files and folders. shows percentage usage.

  Cons

  There are no cons. Everything is great about this product. Those that are complaining are obviously not using it for what it was meant to for.

  Summary

  This is one of the best utilities to manage your storage. It shows the size used by folders and files. You can drill down to specific folders to see how much they are. It shows sizes and percentage of drive.

• Says Vista, not so

  finnmaccoolDecember 14, 2010

  Pros

  Fast scanning of a drive.

  Cons

  Doesn't handle the symbolic link added to Vista and 7. So, you get a repeated iteration of things like the folder "Application Data"

  Summary

  Can't use it to figure out which folders are hogging the drive because of the con item listed.

• Easy to Use, No Frills

  ImNotBlueApril 10, 2009

  Pros

  It's a pretty simple program to use... scans each HD and lets you select how to view the reports. Nothing too fancy or intense, but it's much easier than trying to get all the info via the "property" window.

  Cons

  There are a few display ads at the open and close of the program... nothing more than a "close" to get rid of them, but they do try to hock their product a bit.

  Summary

  A good free option... does everything I need/want it to do, with little to no effort. A good option for someone who isn't expecting gold.

• Best freeware out there to clean up my drive

  Elise_King21February 11, 2009

  Pros

  Lots of reports Lots of charts PRINT !!! Network supports Fast and reliable.

  Cons

  Export is not available

  Summary

  I totally desagree with knightmanic. This software offer a lot more feature than a normal windows browser. It fact, knightmanic probably did not try the software at all. You see folder size, you have a lots of chart and reports on file distribution on the system. You can print. This application support network (most freeware doesn't). It is true that some features are blocked to promote the pro version but these are advance features, not basic one. I love this software and recommend it to everyone.

• Horrible download

  knightmanicJanuary 24, 2009

  Pros

  There is nothing useful about this product

  Cons

  This shows up as free software, but it is anything but. None of the features that would make it worth the time are included in this version. It is just a teaser.

  Summary

  This should not be listed in the free software category because it does nothing better than the file brower included in windows. The features for which I downloaded it were not available. This is just a ploy to get people to pay nearly $50 for software they can't really try out. What a bunch of jerks these JSD software people are. And shame on CNET for allowing it in this category. CNET should disallow this company from fraudulently posting any additional software.

• Best free disk space manager out there

  Natste2121October 14, 2008

  Pros

  FREE. Fast scan. Stable and bug less (not like TreeSize). Lots of reports. Let you find and delete useless files quickly. A must have tool for every computer owner.

  Cons

  Free version cannot be skinned like Pro version.

  Summary

  I tried a lot of disk space manager and disk cleaner over the years, from freeware to expensive commercial software, and I can tell you that this one is the best out there and it is FREE. This tool will let you find useless files quickly. The reports are greats but I don't use them often. I run this software once a week to clean my hard disk from useless junk or to find lost files. At my jobs we bought the Pro version which include a lots of advance feature like compare of scans which is fantastics. Don't waste your time with slow open source like WinDirStat or buggy freeware like TreeSize (which always crash my computer), SizeExplorer Free is the fastest and more stable out there.
