Publisher's Description

SizeExplorer is a powerful disk space usage analyzer.

It provides you with a complete set of tools to help you manage your disk space easily. Features include folder size, graphical charts, file distribution statistics and reports (by size, extension, type, owner, date, etc.), biggest files, network support, snapshots, file management, printing of file listing, compress into ZIP file, exports to Excel, html, xml and text files, etc. All the information provided will help you manage your drives easily. You will be able to rapidly spot large files that may be useless, and you'll have a good general view of the space usage distribution on your local and network drives. It includes a viewer for analyzing your saved snapshot and a command-line tool for saving snapshots from the prompt or from a scheduler.

Eventually does the job, albeit not in a very efficient manner.
Standard version is $39, Gold version is $49, and it certainly is NOT worth that amount of money whatsoever.
I use the feature built in TweakNow PowerPack Pro myself, which is very satisfying (fast, bar display, can sort by columns, everything I need). The whole package does a helluva lot more (since size exploring is only one of its many features) for less $$$. I use that as an example, but I'm sure there are other very good alternatives, and much cheaper.

Sorry, it's not that great:

1. While it's scanning your drive, it is displaying how many MBs it processed so far, but does not display any results. You have to wait for the entire scan process to complete before you can view the real results, i.e. the folder sizes. It should expand and display folder sizes as it is scanning the drive. There is nothing to keep me informed or entertained as it's taking its sweet time scanning my drive.

2. It is very slow. A couple of MB per second, but should be a lot faster considering it's not looking inside the files. I used other programs which worked faster.

3. There is no estimate on time or folders left, and not even on the size left to process. It is easy to compute the remaining size to process by doing Occupied Drive Space - Scanned Space So Far.

4. After I cancelled the scanning process, it displayed result in some weird format. There were no sizes next to the folders already analyzed, just said "Unexplored" next to each folder.

5. Does not display size bars in the file explorer. You need to open a separate window to view the results, which is inconvenient. I would like to see a bar next to each folder indicating its size, scaled based on the largest item in the current folder.
