app to show disk usage?

MuGeN · 30 Jan 2011 at 12:00

I know there are a few out there, but is there a particular one you knowledgable folk would recommend?

simply cuz I need to keep a closer eye on where my space is going since I'm on a 64GB MBA

Daisy Disk is pretty good linky. It's also on the AppStore.

WinDirStat works quite well.

Erm. That's for Windows.

Try OmniDiskSweeper.

On mac osx ? Didn't think so

The op wants grand perspective. Which essentially is windirstat for mac osx

I didn't realise what forum I was in, I apologise. I usually just go through 'New posts'.

You won't see me in here again, can't stand Macs!

Nothing like an open mind. :rolleyes:

If I had a pound for everytime someone on here utters "I can't stand Macs" or "I hate Apple" I'd be very rich.

I was like that, then I bought a mac and slapped my self for slating it.

This is one of the reasons why. I've used them plenty of times, just really don't like the OS or the price. Entitled to an opinion, cheers.

Indeed. I was just returning your disparaging comment.

Peace Out.

Tried all the ones mentioned, went with DaisyDisk easily the nicest interface

(cost £13 but I really don't mind paying for decent software

)

Thanks chaps
