I should not have had to purchase to find out that the program is broken. It could have told me up front that the files where unfindable. This one put on an act, and pretended it could be useful, just to waste my time, and that is unforgivable. Every other app was transparent about how it couldn’t find my files, so I didn’t bother purchasing them. I am infuriated that I just wasted my time and money on this app because it had such a pompous attitude up front. The final one was to contact support, I have done so and I am asking for a refund. I manually reviewed every item in the checklist, and not a single one helped. It never faltered in its confidence - 'buy and you will see the hidden files.” I purchased and it only then sheepishly admitted it had no idea where the files were, and sent me to a checklist to manually review. It acted like it was infallible and if I purchased the license key it would be able to detect the hidden files. I’m pretty sure the human brain is better equipped to compare the size of bars oriented in one direction to “pie slices” all oriented in different directions. The latter is also visual, despite what the developers of Daisy Disk imply, and in fact while not as pretty, it is actually easier to visualize file sizes because they display as horizontal bars. I did another test: Daisy Disk scanned my entire home directory in 48 seconds Disk Xray Lite in 08 seconds (OK, only 6X faster). UPDATE November 2018: I appreciate the developer’s response, which I received by email (don’t know where to find it here). Disk Xray Lite lacks the visual appeal, but is free and 10-15X faster at scanning large directories (which in my case are not even that large: <90 GB). If you care about that sort of thing (and I understand if you don’t), this is a superb tool, and well worth the price. I’ve used Daisy Disk since early 2013, and it is a delight: visually appealing, and an extremely effective way of finding and removing clutter on your computer, or identifying space hogs that might be candidates for optimizing. Supports all kinds of local drives, as well as the most popular cloud disks. Discover what’s hiding inside the “Other” storage category and clear it up.ġ1.
