I recently purchased a MacBook Pro M1 (Silicon) 13" to replace my MacBook Pro Mid-2012 13" but with a smaller hard drive. My older mac came with a 750GB hard drive, but the new M1 only had 500GB or 1TB options for hard drives so I chose the 500GB which may be too small for my needs.

Before I decide to upgrade to the 1TB drive, what is the best file/folder/data usage analyzer app available for the Mac?? I need it to tell me what all volumes exist and what's contained on each volume from the root folder down to the smallest file.

Thanks,
Brandon
 
I personally use WhatSize, which works well for me.

Awesome!! Looking at the site for this app and the screenshots for it, I think this might be what I'm looking for. I'm gonna try the 30 day trial to try it out.

Thanks again,
