Tools to monitor folder size in Windows?

bigcat

I want a tool to continuously monitor a folder and notify me by email(through external SMTP) if its bigger than certain sizes.
Anyone know any tool for this? GUI preferred. If someone can point me to working Batch/VB script, that'll be good too.

Treesize Professional can do that and report, i'm just not sure on the monitoring aspect though.

+1 treesize is very sweet.
If you dont like it you can also set up a monitoring server to watch over folder size.
I know it is possible with zabbix.

Use Scheduled Tasks to set the interval.
It's PowerShell but does exactly what you want.

Overkill for me

This is perfect for my use case, but need to research a bit on how to add SMTP auth etc

I end up using WatchDirectory, as it also serve other purpose.

I used http://sourceforge.net/projects/windirstat/ to monitor the folders.

Can't help on the smtp part.

When it comes to email from batch scripts I usually use blat. http://www.blat.net/
easy to use and do the work as expected.
