Platform guides
Windows, Mac, and Linux: similar questions, different tools.
Your reading route
A platform guide should explain the job of a tool before explaining its controls. The articles here distinguish file navigation, directory-size reporting, and device management. That distinction matters when two windows describe different parts of the same storage system. A familiar folder view and a volume summary can both be useful without displaying interchangeable totals.
Choose the guide for the machine you are inspecting, and start with a small location you recognize. Keep the selected path and permission scope alongside your findings. For cross-platform work, read the external HD guide as a separate handoff plan. Do not assume that a drive format, command option, or application workflow has the same meaning on every operating system.
