Learn more about what’s new in FolderSizes 8 here, or just go right for the download and try it for yourself. Nearly every aspect of FolderSizes has been touched by this release, starting with deep improvements to our core file system analysis engine and carrying all the way through to the user interface. It took over a year of active development and hundreds of testing hours to reach this point, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. We recommend to try ActiveSMART to find all your folder sizes and much more.Today I’m happy to announce the public availability of FolderSizes 8 – the new major version of our market-leading disk space analysis and reporting tool for Windows. The second option might be considered more preferable since it doesn’t involve having an additional service running constantly, whether you need it at the moment or not. The solution is either to install a Windows extension that scans the folders in the background, or to use some third-party software. However, the larger the folder is, the longer this process takes. It can be done by right-clicking on the folder, selecting the “Properties” option and letting the system scan through the subfolders and files within to determine the folder size. Still, too large folders are often a sign of trouble: unused, duplicate, and temporary files can accumulate quickly, leading to disks being out of space.įinding out the folder sizes becomes very useful when you want to look for folders that are taking up your hard drive space. There are limits on the number of files in it, however: from 512 files in a single folder for FAT16 file system (and if you use long file names, you will reduce this number) to 4,294,967,295 files in a folder for NTFS file system.

That in Windows, there is no limit to the size of the contents of a folder.
