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.

Was gleich funktioniert

  • Scans local filesystems and mounted volumes
  • Displays folder sizes in a hierarchical view
  • Shows free vs. used space
  • Allows exclusion of directories from scans
  • Provides a clickable list for detailed file information

Was anders ist

  • Baobab lacks a dedicated command‑line mode; TreeSize Free can be invoked from the terminal
  • TreeSize Free can export results directly to CSV or text; Baobab only offers copy‑to‑clipboard of the list
  • TreeSize Free includes built‑in sorting and filtering options; Baobab relies on manual navigation
  • Baobab shows a treemap visualisation, which TreeSize Free does not provide

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

  1. Install Baobab from your distro's repository (e.g., sudo apt install baobab).
  2. Run Baobab and select the filesystem or folder you want to analyse.
  3. Use the "Exclude" option to skip directories you don't need.
  4. If you need a scriptable output, run a command‑line tool like du and pipe the result to a file.
  5. Copy the resulting list from Baobab if you need a quick report.
