Idea

We can add a tool for storage analysis and drawing a graph helping users identify how files are taking up user's storage.

Similar products: TreeMapFs.

I think WizTree does the storage analysis really fast because it uses the master file table. Similarly, if Files uses the MFT, then it can do the storage analysis faster than other approaches.

Is this something that should be in the properties window?
