The new update introduces better PDF reporting options, but these are still fairly limited.

TreeSize Free is a well-designed program for Windows to quickly assess the distribution of storage on connected hard drives. There, users find more sorting options to sort the data based on their specifications. The View menu includes another improvement. Tip: the 'expand' menu may be used to expand a directory quickly.Įxporting is still limited when compared to the professional version of the software. Columns such as Full Path, Author, Owner, or Last Accessed may be added, and existing columns may be removed. The View > Configure Columns menu adds more information to TreeSize Free and the reports that it creates. Expanded subfolders are included in the report, but any folder that is not expanded is just shown without additional folders or files. TreeSize Free exports the directory as seen on the screen. All it takes is to select a directory in TreeSize Free, then the File menu, and in the File menu the Export > PDF File option. More precisely, the ability to create custom PDF reports. The main new feature of TreeSize Free 4.6 is PDF reporting. Options to dig into the data or switch drives are provided.

The interface displays the size distribution of the main disk partition, which in most cases is drive c. Jam Software, the development company, notes that the switch to 64-bit only versions of Treesize Free removes memory limitations when scanning large files and 'rare compatibility problems'. The limitation should not affect too many users, though. TreeSize Free 4.5 is the last version that supports 32-bit operating systems. Windows users who run the operating system on a 32-bit only device can't run or upgrade to the new TreeSize version. Existing users may select Help > Check for Updates to run a check for updates from within the application. Options to install the free version or extract it to run it as a portable copy are provided. They push the professional version, but you get the free version download eventually. The new version can be downloaded from the developer website. TreeSize Free 4.6 is the first release of the free version since November 2021. While I switched to the excellent WizTree years ago, TreeSize Free has always been on the radar ever since the first review of TreeSize back in 2010 here on this site.
