Easy Folder and File size viewer for students

[altecsole]

Does anyone know of a simple Folder and File size viewer that we can use on our network? We use disk quotas for users, but it's difficult for them to manage files themselves when it's so cumbersome identifying the large ones.

 

I use WinDirStat, but that is far too feature rich for students to use. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

This is quite good...

it integrates nicely with explorer so it's easy enough to use.

Thanks. I'd already had a look at this as an option, but the sort folders by size option doesn't work.

 

The link is here if anyone wants a look.

Treesize is pretty good.

I use Treesize Professional for exactly this sort of thing. Works fine for me & let's you see exactly where the space is being used.

Its much better to use on the staff folders to find all the *really* big files

 

I've been using it for ages, its really good. Pity its not being developed anymore.

I do run it weekly! You'd be surprised (or probably not!) at some of the things it highlights

Thanks, I'll download it and give it a try. It looks a bit like WinDirStat that I also use, but with less features. This may be perfect for what I want. Cheers.

There's also a java one mentioned in the Essential Software Wiki page (JDiskView IIRC)

This is almost perfect, except for the fact that it allows them to open explorer on their My Documents folder, which gives them access to the server. It would be great if there was something that you could set a path in, so that it just showed a view of their My Documents folder, and no more.

 

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
