Tier Type Tallier

Tier Type Tallier is a nice little tool that enables you to scan drives or specific folders in order to extract information about how many files and file types are found in them. It’s a rather miscellaneous tool but for some it proves very handy since it does provide detailed information.

When it comes to looks, Tier Type Tallier is as basic as can be. You get a simple window that is split down the middle into two sections which display information about the file type tallies and general data.

Selecting a source to scan is very easy and the results are displayed in a short time. This however depends on how big the folder or partition is. There are no configuration steps or scan filters to go through prior to scanning which depending on your needs, can be either an advantage or a disadvantage.

You don’t obtain an overwhelming amount of information for each file but you do get a table which contains each extension type, its tally (count) and the space percentage they occupy in the source.

Apart from that, Tier Type Tallier shows you how many files and folders were processed, the number of inaccessible items, longest extension, highest quantity and compressed files. There’s not a lot to choose from but if you’re looking to create a decent overview of a storage unit it certainly does its job. Moreover, you can export the data as a .txt file for archiving or use it with a third-party application in order to further process the obtained data.

To sum things up, Tier Type Tallier isn’t really a high-end tool but if you just want to analyze the file structure of a partition or a drive, it can certainly give you a hand.
