Disk Usage Analyzer is a graphical disk usage analyzer for GNOME. It was part of gnome-utils,[3] but was split off for GNOME 3.4. It was originally named Baobab after the Adansonia tree. The software gives the user a menu-driven, graphical representation of what is on a disk drive.[4] The interface allows for selection of specific parts of filesystem being scanned so a single folder, the entire filesystem, and even remote folders and filesystems can be scanned.[5] The graphical representation can be switched between a ring chart and a treemap chart so the presentation can be tailored to the specific content being scanned.[6]
Windows 10 Disk Space Analyzer
Alternatives to DaisyDisk for Windows with any license WinDirStat. WinDirStat is a disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool, inspired by KDirStat. SpaceSniffer is a tool application that gives you an idea. WizTree scans your entire hard drive and shows you which.
In 2012[7][8], Disk Usage Analyzer was rewritten in Vala.[9]
Future[edit]
At the GNOME Users And Developers European Conference (GUADEC) in 2013, a plan to merge the Disk Usage Analyzer with gnome-system-monitor to a new program called Usage was presented.[10][11]

The layout algorithm is based on KDirStat. The idea to develop this program came to me when a fellow of mine showed me his creation WinDirStat.
