No matter where you need to go and what computer you have to use, SpaceSniffer will be there by your side to help you see how disk space is being used. The application, which is free and portable, analyzes the drive you specify and presents you with a disk space usage overview – you can easily see which files and folders take up the most space and how much free space is left.

To start using SpaceSniffer, you need only download a 1.5MB archive, extract the executable inside, and run it. You don’t have to go through a setup process to install the application – you need only run the SpaceSniffer executable. Put that executable on a portable storage device, and you can take SpaceSniffer with you.

When you run the application, it invites you to pick the drive you want to be analyzed. Once you do so, SpaceSniffer will go to work, analyze the drive, and on the main pane on its interface, it will present you with a color-coded view of how disk space is being taken up by files and folders. At the top there are buttons for navigating the drive, for viewing less/more details, for using file classes style, for viewing free space, and more.

The sort of functionality SpaceSniffer has to offer comes in handy if you’re running out of disk space. The application will help you figure out what folders and files are taking up the most disk space. It also comes in handy when you want to view how much space a particular type of file takes on the hard drive. You can filter out all but a particular type of file. If you want to see how much space WMV files take up on a drive, type *.WMV in the filter box. You can also filter files based on size and date.

This tool is free, it’s portable, and it helps you visualize how disk space is being used. I don’t see what’s not to like about it.

Pros

SpaceSniffer is portable; you don’t have to install it, just run an executable. Analyzes the drive you specify and presents an overview of how disk space is being used. Filter the scan results based on file type, size, and date. SpaceSniffer is freeware (donate if you want to support the application).

Cons

None that I could think of.
