Spanning Stats Has Scanned 25,000+ Google Drives

Posted on 27 April 2012

Spanning , which already offers a backup service for Google Apps , is now riding the coattails of Google Drive , promising to help people see, “What’s in your Google Drive?” Two days after the Drive announcement, Spanning released a free tool  called Spanning Stats that analyzes your Google Drive account. The company says its report provides data including the percentage documents in your Google Drive by type, the 10 newest and oldest files, how much of the total storage quota you’re using by file type, the 10 biggest files, and the 10 users using the most storage space. It sounds like there were people who really wanted to see those charts and graphs.
