MeinPlatz Portable

Some users are more wasteful with their storage than others, and as such, it’s important to be mindful of what you’re storing on your drives. It all adds up, and you eventually start to wonder where all of that space went, even with the larger capacities of today getting increasingly more affordable.

One step you can take to being more conscious of this matter is using a dedicated tool for storage management. When you consider that some don’t even require installation in the first place, an app like MeinPlatz Portable becomes really easy to recommend to anyone looking for a better way to visualize the contents on their drive.

The program adopts a design that may be somewhat reminiscent of earlier Windows versions, but not to its detriment in my opinion. What you get is a utility that can be easily maneuvered even by someone less knowledgeable.

If the goal here is to provide users with a storage visualizer that is easy to digest, then I’d say the software does a pretty good job at it. If you’re unsure where to start, you can’t go wrong with clicking a drive, then waiting for the calculations to finish.

In short, the software will calculate the number of files and folders within the directories of your chosen path, as well as their size footprint. This information will be succinctly displayed to you, so that you can begin ridding your machine of any space hogs or redundant files.

Scanning speeds may vary based on your hardware, but I found the program to be relatively light and fast with its operations. I liked that I was able to scan any folder I wanted, and the program would be quick to scan them and provide me with the data I needed. The size percentage next to each file also helps: if it’s notable amount, you’ll see a green line just below it.

Most curiously, there’s also a Print function that will print the scan results for you to see. Even if you’re not interested in such a feature, it’s nevertheless interesting to see here. Alternatively, you may also export scan results as .XLS, .CSV, .TXT, and .HTML files.

MeinPlatz Portable delivers on its promise: to provide one with a fast and easily deployable tool that displays your drive contents in an uncomplicated way.
