Large File Reviewer

Find what is taking up space—then decide what deserves to stay.

FileLever scans a local folder, external drive, Dropbox folder, or Google Drive folder synced locally with the Google Drive client; brings the largest files to the surface; and helps you review them before you delete, move, or archive anything.

Nothing moves or deletes without your explicit confirmation. Dropbox actions require write access to the account you authorize; Google Drive client sync locations remain local actions.

A deliberate workflow

Reclaim space in four deliberate steps

01

Choose a folder to review

Select the drive, project folder, Downloads folder, media archive, backup location, direct Dropbox folder, or locally synced Google Drive folder you want to inspect. FileLever scans that location and finds the files using the most storage.

02

Focus the scan

Set a minimum file size to skip everyday files and focus on the ones most likely to matter—old videos, installers, exports, archives, virtual machines, or forgotten backups. Exclude caches, temporary folders, or generated project files when they do not belong in the review.

03

See the biggest opportunities first

Review files by size with their full path, category, and modified date. Switch between the largest individual files, folders where storage is accumulating, and the categories using the most room.

04

Take the right action for each file

Open or reveal a file before deciding. Keep it, copy it to an archive, move it after the copy is verified, or delete it only when you are confident it is no longer needed. Dropbox actions require write access to the Dropbox account you authorize; Google Drive client sync locations remain local actions that Google's client updates afterward.

Review the storage impact

Start with the biggest files, then decide their purpose

The size-ranked review keeps file paths and context visible, making it easier to distinguish an old export from an archive, backup, or file you still need.

  1. 01 Start with the files that can make the biggest storage difference.
  2. 02 Inspect path and purpose before choosing an archive, move, or delete action.
  3. 03 Keep the final action explicit, whether the folder is local or Dropbox.

See where space goes

Start with the storage wins that matter

The reviewer gives you several ways to understand where storage is concentrated, so you can move from a large number to a useful decision.

Largest Files
The individual files using the most space.
Large Folders
Locations where storage is accumulating.
Categories
The kinds of files using room, such as videos, archives, documents, or installers.

Home folder review

Review the path and purpose before choosing an action.

Your decision, made visible

Review first. Act only when you are ready.

Action What it helps you do
Open or Reveal Check a file and its location before making a decision. Reveal opens the local file on disk.
Copy to archive Create an archive copy elsewhere while keeping the original where it is.
Move to archive Relocate a file after the destination copy has been verified.
Delete Remove files you have reviewed and explicitly approved for cleanup.

A familiar use case

Example: make room on a nearly full laptop

You scan your home folder with a minimum size of 500 MB. FileLever highlights:

  • A 14 GB old video export in Downloads
  • An 8 GB installer you no longer need
  • A 6 GB project archive already stored elsewhere
  • Several large backups in an archive folder

Open or reveal each item, keep the files that matter, move the archive to an external drive, and delete only files you have verified are safe to remove. Instead of hunting through folders manually, start with the biggest storage wins.

No blind bulk deletion

Storage cleanup that stays understandable

  • See file sizes and full paths before taking action.
  • Review files individually or select several items you have already checked.
  • Choose an archive destination when you copy or move a file.
  • Verify a copy before a move removes the original.
  • Confirm destructive actions explicitly.

Start with the files that matter most to your storage.

Review them locally, keep what is valuable, and clear space with confidence.

Nothing moves or deletes without your explicit confirmation.
