app for showing sd/internal memory usage?

[sh4dow]

i am pretty sure that i saw such an app in a review once but didn't bookmark it and forgot the name.

it's like "diskusage" but with an IMO better interface. doesn't zoom into things but provides you with a list view of the directory structure and displays e.g. how much space directories take up. kind of similar to "treesize" on a computer.

does anyone here know an app like that?

Perhaps you mean NEW SD CARD Storage Optimizer?

Alternatively, ES File Explorer can display the same info. Just select Menu - Manager - SD Card Analyst.

I use System Info Widget for that, and some other stuff to boot. Great app if you're looking to have that info in a widget.

sh4dow is looking for a way to analyze SD card usage. System Info Widget is not good for that (although it provides a good all-round system info).

Astro will also do this. On top of that it's a fantastic file manager.

If you have Astro (free version is fine) do the following:

1. Open Astro and hit your menu key
2. Go to 'Tools' and press 'SD Card Usage'

You'll now have a list view of every directory on your SD card and the associated storage with it. It provides the size of the directory and a percentage of space taken up.

thanks for mentioning this! while i did not see it in a review for es file explorer, it did make me look at a review of astro again and there i found it:

man, it really looks like es file explorer is a straight copy of astro. after watching reviews and reading people's comments, i still don't know of any differences. except that it seems astro isn't updated any more but es file explorer still is. but that could just be because astro had more features for a long time?

hehe i clearly took way too much time writing my last reply and not refreshing this thread
but i think i'll use es file explorer instead, since it seems to have more features than astro and is still being developed.

They both are capable file managers with extra features.
I prefer ES File Explorer because it has a great LAN/FTP feature. Without the need to install anything else, I can browse on my phone my PC files (both connected to my home WiFi network) and copy them from one device to another.

yeah, as i have a website, i thought that that could come in handy at some point. not a fan of wifi though, avoid it whenever i can. never had a computer/OS/wifi-device combination (iphone is included here) that would always work reliably.
