It’s easy to just keep saving things to your Mac’s hard drive. At first there is so much disk space on your new computer! But after a while, it starts to fill up — and subsequently slows down. Sure, you could go through your folders one by one looking for large files, but there has to be an easier way, right?

Right! Disk Drill does all the hard work for you. It will check hard drive space on Mac and build a disk map with a list of your files with the largest ones first. That way you can see which files are taking up the most space and decide whether to delete them, move them to another drive, or leave them where they are. With the free Disk Drill you can reclaim plenty of space for new movies, photos and music in no time.
