1Tree Pro 2.0 was available as a giveaway on March 20, 2014!
1Tree Pro loads your local and network drives, folders and files with their sizes (sorted by size in descending order), and you can do some common operations for the checked resources in batch mode, such as Move to Recycle Bin, Permanently Delete and Move / Copy to Other Place. Also, it provides you with a few special commands (e.g. Get Full Path of Resource) for drives/files/folders. So, with 1Tree Pro, you can do the manual disk cleaning work easily.
In fact, it is similar to UNIX/Linux du command, or you can think it is a GUI du tool for Windows.

Designed to send birthday wishes and season's greetings (cards or messages) automatically, just do a little settings, you can get a convenient tool for sending automatic wishes.
Tried 1Tree Pro; did not care for it; my file manager does exactly what this does. No I'm not going to mention which file manager; there's always someone whose file manager is better than the one you're using.
And as for many of the posts listing file managers; com'on, anything is better than Windows Explorer - Anything . . . . . . .

Where can you get a version of Total Commander that you can legally use indefinitely for free? Due to a medical disability, I'm on a fixed income and so am pretty much limited to freeware these days. :(

Write up says it scans network drives, but it didn't scan any of mine, nor do I see a way to do that manually, so it does me no good.

I use a freeware program called Ridnacs from a German developer. It is available from Cnet in English https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CDgQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdownload.cnet.com%2FRidNacs%2F3000-2248_4-10864815.html&ei=RD8rU6D0DdXloATKnoGQBg&usg=AFQjCNE0yz5wEywATg5eVpaPhY7lW1iZng&bvm=bv.63316862,d.cGU

+1 for Qdir
-1 for 1 Tree Pro
Not sure if anyone has said it yet, but if you have a lot of drive space, this software bogs down... I tried it a while back on about 7TB of data, and it took forever to report (hours.) It did finally get there though, but what's the point? Other utilities I've tried take far less time (minutes...)

What drives me mad is when someone states origin of software. What do you expect when CHinese company's program is featured here? What about Russian? What about Nigerian? Karl, you are not good!

Better alternative, ZTREEWIN. fast, low resource usage, text-type tree. I've used it for years. 30 day free trial, $29.95 to buy lifetime license with free upgrades as available.

Just looked at TreeSize Free 3.0 and noticed it's very easy to understand the list it produces. Scanning time depends on how much stuff you have stored/installed on the computer, but it's quicker than, say, index scanning. Will download it and keep it handy if needed.

As mentioned by others, WizTree is one of the fastest disk space utils. It is free and also available in a portable version. Only works with NTFS formatted drives.

XP SP3
v2.0
Registers simply enough with the given key.
No titles on the toolbar icons.
Though mouseover does show their functions.
Listing layout could be better organized.
More columnar would probably help.
Likewise the ability to toggle the right-hand panel on or off.
It only scans the topmost volume or directory.
If you want more detailed breakdowns, you need to specifically click on particular item, at which time it then computes its' information.
Generally thinking it is less desirable that way then if it gathered all its needed information at once.
Sort of has some basic file management functions included.
Not sure I'd really be comfortable using them?
I don't see anything particularly wrong with this.
I just don't see anything particularly appealing with it.

Add Double Commander to the list, it is multi-platform...

Wasn't very useful for me. Most folders said "cannot compute size" and app does not allow scanning custom paths. I use WinDirStat (free), and with that I can scan my NAS (a network drive), something this app won't do as there is no way of selecting which drive to scan.

Installed and used. Features one the most basic interface but that's good enough. Showed all the files which were stacked together. Works quiet well. But its a shame that it cannot be updated. No need to worry though, cuz there are others.
Three softwares: Total Commander, Treesize free and WinDirStat, are must haves.
TC is a brilliant file manager and beats Windows explorer at its own game. Its much faster and does not hang like Windows Explorer. It has a 30day trial but you can use it indefinitely. Much recommended.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/File-managers/Total-Commander.shtml
Treesize free is exactly the same as today's giveaway but its free. Wonderful product and very easy to use.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/TreeSize.shtml
WinDirStat displays the disk usage statistics. It has a very unique way of displaying the statistics. Similar to today's GAOTD but still different in its own way. And its free too.

Honorable mentions include SpaceSniffer & Scanner. Happy downloading!

My 2 cents for today's giveaway!

WinDirStat is a disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool for various versions of Microsoft Windows.
Note: if you are looking for an alternative for Linux, you are looking for KDirStat (apt-get install kdirstat on Debian-derivatives) and for MacOS X it would be Disk Inventory X or GrandPerspective.
On start up, it reads the whole directory tree once and then presents it in three useful views:
The directory list, which resembles the tree view of the Windows Explorer but is sorted by file/subtree size,
The treemap, which shows the whole contents of the directory tree straight away,
The extension list, which serves as a legend and shows statistics about the file types.
Save | Cancel
Other free alternatives:
SpaceSniffer 1.1.4.0: a bit of a resource hog, but this monitors the drive/folder in realtime, so if you add or remove files the graph is immediately updatedTreeSize Free 3.0: a good old one. If you're looking for a fast tool, this should be fine
Cheers!

Tested this on two systems, both XP S3, on my slightly flaky one got net framework error same as #3 but it worked on my second system which is more stable.
But as two people have had similar errors I expect many more will suffer a similar fate.

You need to take into account the fact that disks today are huge.
When I click on a top-level disk, 1TreePro starts calculating the capacity immediately. This can take a long time. But maybe I don't need the information for the entire disk. Most likely, I only need it for my home directory. So it would be a good idea to let me navigate through the tree to the directory I'm interested in, and then let me tell the program where to start calculating. Or why not add it to the Windows Explorer context menu ("run 1TreePro on this directory")?
Oh, and tidy up the interface.

Installed and registered without problems, opened up to a rather childish looking interface.
On the left panel lists folders/files sizes, when you click on a folder it shows the subfolders and you click on one of those it shows subfolders of subfolders and so on.
Larger buttons on the top allow you to delete, copy, move, open and rename files.
When you check a checkbox it is listed in the right-hand panel where it appears above functions can be performed on those listed.
It could be quite a handy program but not one I would even consider looking at for such a high price.

Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1 Pro 64 bit system.
A Chinese company without name and address. We had had already software from this company.
Started with an error message from .NET4, but continued. A simple "tree size" display program. Not a real good one,...
Comes with the funny error message, when I wanted to see the system drive :
1 Tree Pro uses the checked resource(s) for Deleting, Moving and Copying operations in batch mde, but these actions are not available for a drive. So, you cannot ckeck a drive. (*)
????
Okay, it shows another drive, loads very slow and does not display the biggest resources of a drive automatically. You have to choose the subdirectories and below to find the big files.
In that way completely useless. And there must be a typing error. This is not version 2.0, but version 0.2.
Uninstalled via reboot. Waste of time!
(*) even in Admin mode

Installed OK but when run won't expand the C: drive. Settings option allows seeing CD-Rom and network drive but when ticked still don't show anything.
Overall, disappointing and being uninstalled.

If all I had was Windows Explorer, and this program was offered as a freeware alternative - I'd stick with Windows Explorer! I use Q-Dir: and if you offered me a bribe of $29.95 I wouldn't swap it for this giveaway.
