Baobab als Linux-Alternative zu TreeSize Free
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Baobab is a solid Linux alternative for most TreeSize Free users. It scans local and mounted filesystems, shows folder sizes in a tree view and a treemap, and lets you drill down for details. It lacks a built‑in command‑line interface and native export formats, so power users who need scripting or CSV output will have to rely on work‑arounds. For everyday desktop users who just want a quick visual overview of disk usage, Baobab works well.

Ihre TreeSize Free-Dateien öffnen
Baobab does not understand TreeSize Free's native export files. If you have a CSV or text report from TreeSize Free you can open it in any spreadsheet or text editor, but Baobab cannot import that data for further analysis. You would need to recreate the scan in Baobab.
Von TreeSize Free zu Baobab wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Install Baobab from your distro's repository (e.g., sudo apt install baobab).
- Run Baobab and select the filesystem or folder you want to analyse.
- Use the "Exclude" option to skip directories you don't need.
- If you need a scriptable output, run a command‑line tool like du and pipe the result to a file.
