Scan specific folders on your Mac and generate a detailed report of disk space usage, with the help of this straightforward macOS app #Catalog folders #Scan folder #Space usage report #Catalog #Space usage #Report
As your hard drives accumulate more and more files, some of which may no longer be necessary, you might have a hard time figuring how you can free up disk space quickly and efficiently.
Folder Size Catalog is a tool that may prove to be helpful, as it can scan specific folders on your Mac and generate a report that highlights the largest directories.
Folder Size Catalog is extremely easy-to-use, as all you need to do is select the folder to be scanned and where the generated report should be saved. The app then begins examining the files present in the user-defined directory and all its subfolders.
Folder size is calculated by measuring the contained files and summing up their sizes. Subfolders are not included in this calculation, as they are each indexed separately.
Given that many of us have a significant amount of stored files and folders, it may be a good idea to skip directories whose size falls under a predefined value, in order to speed up the scanning process as much as possible.
Of course, if you want the report to be as accurate as possible, you can scan every single subfolder, but the operation may take a while.
The results are exported to an HTML file that sorts folders based on their size and allows you to navigate to each of them with a single mouse click.
However, it is a bit disappointing that Folder Size Catalog cannot present the gathered data in other forms and provide a breakdown of disk space usage based on file type.
Overall, Folder Size Catalog is a very simple tool that can help you get an overall idea of the distribution of disk space among the folders on your storage drives. It is easy-to-use, but would benefit from some additional data representation methods.
