"Keeps Our Macs Running Smoothly and Saves on Upgrade Costs"

5/5

What do you like best about DaisyDisk?

This software helps maintain your Mac hard drive in pristine shape and avoid unnecessary upgrades, and that's quite a significant item on exp[enses for a small business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaisyDisk?

For some time, there were no updates to the app (they resumed). It found some ghost objects that we did not recognize. But even with these problems, it was working somehow on newer versions of the Mac OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DaisyDisk solving and how is that benefiting you?

At some point, the OS has so many "unidentified" objects that the updates cannot run. Before we purchased the Daisy Disk licenses, the choice was either to unload some space-hungry software from the Mac, or aquire new machine.

Using Daisy Disk allowed us to identify chronic problems with Mac and fix them preventively. The clean-up process performed by this software never let us down! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sorting storage visually"

5/5

What do you like best about DaisyDisk?

I love how simple and easy it is to manage the disk storage with this app. I just simply enjoy the overall experience while sorting my files. The same color for each type of file and the size of graphs depending on the file size are my favorite features of this software. Also, the integration with cloud storage is a very very useful feature, I am genuinely in love with this software. It is literally one of the best purchases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaisyDisk?

some of the files are not being deleted from Daisy Disk. I believe that those are locked files but it gets annoying at times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"data sorting is super smooth"

5/5

What do you like best about DaisyDisk?

I love the layout and how it shows the graph and visual representation of the files. Very easy to get an idea of what files are taking up the most storage. The option to add the cloud storage is also very good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaisyDisk?

There are some files that it does not delete, which are locked. And that is very annoying Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It Took Me Forever to Finally Find The Perfect Mac Disk Tool, But Here It Is"

5/5

What do you like best about DaisyDisk?

Daisydisk has one of the best UI's of any of the Macbook utilities I've tried, hands down. It's intuitive, easy to navigate, and makes keeping my disk clean easy and free of any stress that I might have deleted something I shouldn't have. I also love how it visually shows you what's being cleaned and how much space each segment is freeing up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaisyDisk?

So far, there has been nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DaisyDisk solving and how is that benefiting you?

My Macbook runs out storage literally every other month it feels like as I use it for both work and personal reasons and still have not purchased an external storage drive. And before finding DaisyDisk, I tried manually to free up storage but always ended up deleting things I wasn't supposed to or didn't mean to and I was never able to free up anything from the private space which is where so much of my storage was going to. The other tools I tried before DaisyDisk were either way too expensive for me personally AND/OR still didn't let me access the private storage and it was like a constant loop of never having space because I just couldn't find anything that worked.

But DaisyDisk was and is exactly what I needed and I've never stop using it since I discovered and bought it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An essential disk management tool!"

5/5

What do you like best about DaisyDisk?

DaisyDisk is quick and thorough. I'm able to see what's on a drive and, very quickly, decide what needs to be deleted or copied over to another drive. It has a great built in feature that bundles up hidden and puregeable space for review and if determined unecessary, you can delete them from within the app itself. Never had an issue using DaisyDisk in this manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaisyDisk?

The app is so straight forward and simple to use there isn't much room for complaints. If anything, I would request to be able to search by file type. I know that's not really what the app is meant to do. However, the scanning method is so thorough and precise, it might be a useful add-on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DaisyDisk:

I've recomneded this app to just about everyone on my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DaisyDisk solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use a lot of travel and shuttle drives. Meaning, I pass drives over to different team members. I use DD to review what is on the drive and make space for new files by moving old archive work to our server and back drives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you dislike about DaisyDisk?

I can't think of anything I dislike but I'd love to be able to locate files that are big and uncessesary Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy And Through"

5/5

What do you like best about DaisyDisk?

I like the interface a lot. Its simple and elegant. The visual representation of your data makes it easier to see what the largest files are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaisyDisk?

I wish it would scan on start up instead of having to click to scan but that's a small gripe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DaisyDisk solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do video work and run out of space on my drives constantly. Daisy disk helps me figure out what files are filling up my Hard Drive so I can consider moving or deleting them. Sometimes I realize that I have duplicate files in multiple locations because of Daisy Disk or that a certain program has created huge files for itself in the background. This has saved my deadlines quite a few times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and visually appealing. Best way to visualize how your hard drive storage is being used"

4.5/5

What do you like best about DaisyDisk?

Fast and visually appealing. Able to find folders that are taking up large chunks of space. The "show in finder" makes it fast to navigate to folders Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaisyDisk?

Wish it was free. Also don't like that you need to rescan after deleting files to update Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
