MoreSpace Folder Compression 1.0.1

MoreSpace is an OS X utility that lets you save disk space using HFS+ folder compression without creating compressed archive files.

The HFS+ compressed files will remain at their original location and you can use them as you did before the compression. With MoreSpace applied HFS+ compression there is no need to create separate compressed archive files.

The Apple HFS+ compression technology was introduced in Snow Leopard and also used by Apple to reduce size of OS X system folders.

Your Mac will automatically decompress HFS+ compressed files on access, no need to manually extract them. When the compressed file(s) being modified or copied, OS X will store them uncompressed.

Moreover, the Finder will show you the original (uncompressed) file size of HFS+ compressed files, the occupied space difference shown in MoreSpace app and free space available value in Finder.

NOTE: To buy MoreSpace via the App Store, an Apple account is required.
