Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Now free and open source
Continuing forward as Sandboxie-plus while still updating its classic version.
Pro Windows 10/11 Home does not include Sandbox
As that is limited to Pro, this is a great alternative.
Pro Exceptionally fast for NTFS drives
Because it reads the master file table (MFT) directly from NTFS file system.
Pro Free
There is no limitation to using it.
Pro Multiple view such as tree view, tree map, extension view, file view
Unlike other similar apps, which usually only offer single view, this app offers multiple views.
Pro Handles "hard linked" files correctly - doesn't count them more than once
WizTree is faster and much more accurate than all the others as it properly handles hard linked files (doesn't count them more than once) so the total allocated size reported by WizTree will actually match the space used on the drive as reported by Windows.
Cons
Con Windows 10 has Windows Sandbox
Only relevant if using Pro edition of Windows.
Con Intended for NTFS only
It'll work with any other file system but with the same speed as any generic space analyzer.
