Windows Drive Space Utility

Yes, there are of course a lot of these kinds of tools on the internet. So why should there be another? I found myself once in a while needing to know how much of my hard disks (or pendrives) are full, what is filling this space, and also wanting this displayed in a way that I find intuitive. Of course, who likes paying for software, so I've looked for a free program that would solve my problem, but normally when they're free they aren't well made, or the interface is ugly, and so on. I personally don't want to pay for a program that I rarely use, even if I had the money. These applications are all free !!!

Name: Xinorbis

Xinorbis is a simple but powerful hard disk analyser. Using a sophisticated mix of graphs, tables and tree displays, it gives the user a complete overview of the contents of a hard disk (or directory). It makes it easy to see the contents, structure and file distribution and file composition of a whole hard disk, directory, or mapped network drive. Includes full report creation.

Features include:

Analyse a single drive / directory or merge several together in one report
complex report generation, with export to HTML, ASCII, CSV or XML
save reports and compare them to see how the contents has changed
all information displays are completely resizable for ease of viewing
XP style support
improved speed
shell support, scan a directory through explorer!
Xinorbis is now available for download with an installer, the recommended option, or as a zip archive for expert users who want more control; such as installing Xinorbis on to a USB flash drive.
