Hmm .. you're right.
If You run the NirSoft app in "Summary Mode" ( the top drop down that defaults to "Standard Search")
it does produce directory totals BUT only for directories with files in them, and only for the files - there
doesn't seem to be any way to make it "rollup" sub-directory sizes into directory totals.
Has to have some type of recursive method and total up the file sizes in each dir which take some time. If you're mainly looking for folder size I just tried this and works nicely. It's not .csv but exports a decent html report. Could modify it to export to a .csv https://community.spiceworks.com/scr...et-foldersizes
In the script can modify the Path and the Export Path and run set it on a scheduled task to run @ certain time of the day every day if you want.

Treesize Professional? Its only $54 ...
I am using the trial of that right now, but I ultimately need this for multiple computers and $54 per machine is ridiculous for this one thing...

Don't have to be smart, just know how to copy paste from the google.
I threw something together, few lines of code... Just download Visual Studio and create a new forms project. Throw a couple of textboxes and a button on the form. Go into code of the form and type the stuff in blue.
Recursion is in Red - calls itself
Click the green "play" button at the top of Visual Studio
Output to csv on the right.
I'd send you an exe, but who would trust a stranger on the internet
Looking for a free (NOT trial version) program to provide a directory listing of any location (local, USB, network, etc.) along with folder sizes AND OUTPUT it to CSV or XLSX.
Currently using WinDirSat, TreeSize (free), etc. but none will output to a CSV or Excel. I can print to PDF from TreeSize, but that's it.
Any ideas? Not interested if it doesn't output to CSV or Excel.
I need to regularly audit my NAS and other storage devices based on folder size and move things around based on size of the folders, back things up to other drives, etc...
Chod,
Awesome, thanks! I got it outputting to a text file in CSV that i can bring into Excel.
Any reason I should be having trouble using it to review a network share? I tried the input path as as both the mapped drive letter and the \\path\ but both returned a "Invalid directory path."

I should probably reboot three times...
I haven't tried it with a network share - it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't work, since that's a slightly different animal.
du is a pretty fundimental unix command,. Originally I was going to suggest cygwin's du binary, although I don't think it has a CSV mode.
There's probably a bunch of different ports/variants.
I'm looking for a good/free 3rd party VPN utility for Windows. Ever since Windows 10 Build 1703 the built-in VPN client has been pretty intermittent. (it's no better in 1709), I figured it might've been just me but my clients are seeing the same intermittent issues. I need L2TP/preshared key, and PPTP support, Open VPN would be nice too. Anyone know of one?

^ I figured out what the problem is here. Starting with 1703 VPN Network adapter numbers starting changing randomly. Security feature IDK? So when I would assign a static route to a network adapter interface number using the cmd "route add x.x.x.x mask x.x.x.x IF xx -p" it'd work for a little bit and then change because the IF# changed. I eventually learned about the powershell cmdlet "add-vpnconnectionroute -ConnectionName "Acme VPN" -DestinationPrefix x.x.x.x/xx" which assigns static routes to network connection names and not the interface #. As long as you don't change the VPN name after you create it it will continue to work.
If you ever run sfc scan and it fails, then run dism to fix the issue, then run sfc scan again. This just happened on my work PC and it actually worked. My PC failed to update to 1809 from 1803, hopefully the update will install now
Ok well I hope it's not too late for you to use this next tip. This week it's ninite.com! This site is a way to drastically simplify the install process of your common programs. If you're like me and you're reinstalling OSes often you have to go through that initial setup phase where you install your browser, AV, java, flash, torrent, adobe reader, itunes, vlc, and various other utilities. Well this site is pretty much a bunch of check boxes and you check which apps you want to install and then you download a single customized exe file that then goes and downloads and automatically installs the most current version of all your apps for you with very few if any dialog boxes to choose. So you can run it in the background and it's pretty much hands off from there. It installs with the default settings and DOESN'T install any of the junk toolbars or any other crapware!!!! Use this in conjunction (ooo, big word) with the filehippo.com update and you got a simplified install and update process for a lot of your apps!
InvisibleHand shows a discreet notification when the product you're browsing can be bought for a lower price elsewhere. It gives you a link directly to the product page at the competing retailer and it also work in Google search results
You won't even know you have it until a little yellow "information bar" pops up at the top of the page giving you links to other places that have the same item for a cheaper price.
10 years later and I still use ninite almost daily at work, and I still use Invisiblehand to find cheaper prices; I also use Honey as well since they're pretty much the same.
Sweet invisible hand! I personally just use the amazon assistant app and it will tell you if the price is cheaper (ALBEIT only on Amazon and not on other sites). May have to look into the Invisible Hand thingamabob.
Invisiblehand > Amazon assistant. Does the same thing but checks many other sites including Amazon, I've never been sent to a shady site through them, they've all been legit.

Is it through some sort of affiliate link for them so they take a cut?

And FYI, you'd better hope you're not in a hurry. The restorehealth takes forever to complete, at least it has whenever I've had to run it....

AlDente Pro is a macOS battery management app. You can set a max charge limit like you can on a Tesla, it can slow the charge rate if the battery exceeds a certain temp, and the power flow shows the energy transfer rate to the mac and shows real time charge speeds from the chargerI saw Kyle Conner from Out of Spec Youtube channels use it
VMware tools 12.3.0 finally gives basic driver support for ARM64 based Windows VMs running in VMware Fusion on Apple Silicon based Macs. So now you can copy and paste between macOS and your VM
