Preface:
This article collects three file management tools that I use every day:
File search artifact - Everything
Disk file occupancy analysis tool - SpaceSniffer
File Explorer – Clover
Below I will introduce each tool from two aspects: pain points and usage techniques.
1. File search artifact - Everything
Download Address:The hyperlink login is visible.
Pain point:
If you want to search for a file quickly, you only know a prefix or suffix, and you want to search vaguely, but even if you know the full name of the file, the search function that comes with Windows is very slow. Let's take a picture to feel it.
Put another search rendering using everything
One may not produce results in more than ten minutes, and one result will come out in seconds.
Tips:
The following 2 images contain most of the search tips
Scenario 1
Input: C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\WeChat Files\ *.jpg size:>10kb
Interpretation: Search for a specified WeChat folderAll jpgs larger than 10kb under the pathFormat picture
Scenario 2
Input: C:\Users\Administrator\ *.jpg|*.png dc:today size:>40kb
Definition: Search under the specified path, created today,All jpg or png formats with files larger than 40kb in sizeImage

2. Disk file occupancy analysis tool - SpaceSniffer
Download Address:The hyperlink login is visible.
Pain point:
The disk space is full again, I don't know what files are taking up space, and I can't find the target when I want to delete files.
Tips:
Select the drive letter, click start to analyze the space occupied by the disk file, the tool will display the file size in large and small squares, the larger the space occupied by the file, the larger the square will be displayed, so that you can easily find files that take up a lot of space, when cleaning the space, find a few primary large junk files, and solve 80% of the space occupation problem.
As shown in the figure below, each folder can be drilled down by clicking Drill Down
The drill down lists each file, and the Chinese part can be right-clicked to delete and cut to a path with enough space
3. File explorer - Clover
Download Address:The hyperlink login is visible.
Pain point:
After opening multiple folders, the already crowded taskbar space is even worse. Clover can merge multiple open folders into tab tabs, just like the browser's tabs, the taskbar is much cleaner from now on, and it also comes with some shortcut keys and favorites functions, making it much easier to find frequently used files.
Tips:
After installing Clover, it will enhance the original Explorer Explorer on Windows, and when you open Explorer in the future, it will bring tabs.
