Space growth per folder

Question / Problem

I would like to know how within TreeSize you can work out what data was copied to another logical drive and when. For example D: drive has suddenly grown by 5GB, how do you determine what 5GB has been copied and when.

Answer / Solution

This kind of task is more suitable to our hard disk manager SpaceObServer. By continuously collecting directory information in a database, SpaceObServer enables your to get instant information about directory sizes, growth of allocated disc space (for each subdirectory) and to define filters (E.g.: Files created within the last X days) that can be applied immediately on the shown directory branch.What you could do in TreeSize is to take a look at the "Age of Files" graphics (look for files create within the last few days), or compare the current scan with a former stored XML report ("File > Compare With XML Report").
