Brio

Brio is a focused, single-purpose software publisher that concentrates on solving one of Windows Explorer’s longest-standing omissions: the absence of folder-size information. By delivering Folder Size, a lightweight shell extension, Brio reintroduces the classic column that Microsoft removed after Windows XP, enabling users to see at a glance how much space every directory consumes without opening Properties dialogs or running separate disk analyzers. The add-on integrates directly into Explorer’s detail view, updating automatically as files are added, deleted or moved, and respects modern performance guidelines so network shares and large drives remain responsive. Typical use cases include quick cleanup sessions where users sort the Size column to pinpoint bloated projects, routine maintenance that keeps SSDs from filling unnoticed, and pre-backup checks that verify which folders will dominate archive storage. Because the tool reads live NTFS data rather than scanning recursively, results appear almost instantly, making it equally handy for home collections, workstation assets and shared servers. Brio’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest version and supporting batch installation alongside any number of additional applications.
