Folder Stats Tool

The Folder Stats Tool scans a selected directory and creates a CSV file that reports the size of each subfolder. It’s a quick way to estimate archive size or prep data for cloud upload.


When It’s Useful

  • Estimating total data volume for archival
  • Identifying large or unexpected folders before transfer
  • Pre-checking folders prior to uploading to NODD or Google Cloud Bucket
  • Helps decide which folders to copy/move/upload first

  2. Double click the program to run (if needed right-click the file → Properties → Check Unblock) image
  3. Click Browse and select the folder you want to scan
