Re: Request: Diskspace Analyzer by folders / shares
It's not ideal but there's a Windows utility called Treesize which can do this for individual shared folders.

Hi,
In terminal ... (so without grephics)
... ncdu ... advantage a static version exist for ALL NAS architecture
... godu ... advantage (same) BUT you can select view based on file size ...
This tools based on du can view all the structure
Each have command to remove (or move) files selected ... take care it's dangerous if you don't know exactly how it run (test before using really)
etc.
example to download
ncdu (nc is for ncurses ) : https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu ... but also provide in Entware APKG (+2000 packages)
godu : https://github.com/viktomas/godu/releases/tag/v1.5.2
remember that is only (even hard work) T.U.I. on the common command du ... available in all NAS
NB other tools are available ...
Philippe.

Thanks Snapshot, Utility like Treesize is exactly what I want the ASUSTOR product management to consider and build something similar.
Thanks Phillippe, the recommended terminal utilities look great, I am going to give a spin on them.

Hi Phillippe,
I just want to express the appreciation of your sharing above and thanks for maintaining Entware in App Central!
This is definitely a hidden gem which I didn't aware until now, and I am now a happy user of ncdu.
