While I switched to the excellent WizTree years ago, TreeSize Free has always been on the radar ever since the first review of TreeSize back in 2010 here on this site.. TreeSize Free 4.6 is the first release of the free version since November 2021.
The new version can be downloaded from the developer website. They push the professional version, but you get the free version download eventually. Options to install the free version or extract it to run it as a portable copy are provided. Existing users may select Help > Check for Updates to run a check for updates from within the application.

Windows users who run the operating system on a 32-bit only device can't run or upgrade to the new TreeSize version. TreeSize Free 4.5 is the last version that supports 32-bit operating systems. The limitation should not affect too many users, though.
The main new feature of TreeSize Free 4.6 is PDF reporting. More precisely, the ability to create custom PDF reports. All it takes is to select a directory in TreeSize Free, then the File menu, and in the File menu the Export > PDF File option.
The View > Configure Columns menu adds more information to TreeSize Free and the reports that it creates. Columns such as Full Path, Author, Owner, or Last Accessed may be added, and existing columns may be removed.
TreeSize Free is a well-designed program for Windows to quickly assess the distribution of storage on connected hard drives. The new update introduces better PDF reporting options, but these are still fairly limited.
I gave up looking for the portable on the authors site and grabbed it at Portable Apps.
Yes, its 40mb. It not asking my firewall for internet access. Whatever the change seems to be innocuous. I note that TreeSizeFreeOld.exe (dates 3rd June 2020) comes in the same download (from Portable Apps).
