I'm sure it is possible but if this basic feature is not obvious, I will prefer to look for something better ; — sorin. FileMerge is not as good as BeyondCompare, by a long shot. But it is free, and for a one-time requirement that's the price I was looking for : — Edward Caulfield. I suspect this may be related to the fact that the files on one side are located on Onedrive but locally synched. In any case, I'll have to try something else. Easy and fast if you already have Xcode installed!

Built-in utility for macOS and Linux If you don't mind using the terminal, the diff command can compare directories. Adam Parkin Adam Parkin 1, 7 7 silver badges 8 8 bronze badges.

This is an old topic - but I installed it via brew cask install diffmerge and it installed without problems. Apr It is still maintained, and still one of my go-to development tools. FWIW I tried brew cask install diffmerge today June and when I tried to run diffmerge I got an alert box telling me that MacOS wasn't going to run the program because it can't verify the developer.

MikeTheTall Isn't that usual for apps not from app store? Did you tried directly Ctrl-click the app icon and then choose open from the shortcut menu? Show 1 more comment. It is better than a lot of software listed here because it is free and open source. So you do not need to worry about the fee or security if not more powerful, it is as sophisticated as a lot of software which asks you a lot of money it is user-friendly and does not involve complex configuration or typing command in the terminal.

Although the map can be visually interesting, I find that a text-based list is easier to read as you can just see what's taking up a ton of space and what's not very easily.

Disk Inventory X gives you both, so you're in good shape regardless of what you prefer. It provides all the information you'll need, in multiple ways, when analyzing your disk space. It isn't exactly a pretty app like Daisy Disk, mentioned in the competition section and the amount of information it provides might be overwhelming for some users at first. That said, these are very minor complaints. For the most part, Disk Inventory X should handle just about everything you'd want out of a disk space analyzer.

It's the preference of many Mac users. What it does differently is display disk usage data as a sunburst map, which some may find easier to read and definitely more pleasant to look at.
