Follow Symbolic Links

Question / Problem

TreeSize does not follow symbolic links pointing to another drive and in our DFS tree, it shows 0 KB for these links. Can this be changed?

Answer / Solution

You can change the behavior by enabling the setting "Tools > Options > Scan > General > Follow mount points and external symbolic links to directories".

Symbolic links are marked by Treesize with a small arrow on the folder icon.
