When I started managing our company’s documentation servers, I had no idea how fragmented our data really was. Each department had its own rules, and there were no centralized tools to see the big picture. I began experimenting with TreeSize after reading a forum post about Disk Space Analysis. It was a turning point.
TreeSize offered more than visuals — it gave me confidence. I started scheduling regular scans and built a dashboard that visualized Better Storage Visibility metrics across teams. File Management improved naturally as we removed duplicates, reorganized archives, and standardized file naming conventions.
I also became obsessed with understanding how to search for files and folders effectively. I tested everything from built-in OS tools to open-source file indexers. TreeSize remained at the core of our toolkit because of how well it integrated with other systems. We combined it with Duplicate File Detection scripts and even used it during our compliance reviews.
What I learned is this: to analyze and manage unstructured data across storage, you must first see it. Better Storage Visibility isn’t about fancy software — it’s about understanding the data you already have. TreeSize helped me see clearly for the first time, and now I help others do the same.
