Activity Trends

Storage problems do not appear overnight. Trends show you how your Drive grows month by month, so you can catch problems early.

Track growth, not just usage

A single scan tells you where you stand today. Trends tell you where you are headed. Each scan is saved as a snapshot, and DriveNest plots them over time as bar charts broken down by month. You can see at a glance whether your storage is growing steadily, spiking suddenly, or holding flat.

Spot the spikes

Did someone dump a batch of large files last November? Did your duplicate count jump after migrating a shared folder? Trend charts make these events visible. Peak month detection highlights the busiest periods automatically, and trend percentages show you the rate of change between scans.

Trends features

  • Bar charts by month — storage, file count, and duplicates over time
  • Compare scan snapshots — see how your Drive changed between any two scans
  • Filter by file type — isolate growth by category (images, video, documents, etc.)
  • Peak month detection — automatic highlight of the busiest month
  • Trend percentage — growth rate shown as a clear up/down indicator
  • Scan history — every saved scan contributes to your trend data

Better with scheduled scans

The more scans you save, the richer your trend data becomes. With a Premium or Ultimate subscription, scheduled background scans run automatically, building a continuous history without any manual effort. Over time, you get a complete picture of your Drive's evolution.
