How to find all folders that are larger than 1GB or 10GB on the Mac HD? I thought the method to find all the folders that have more than 1GB of content would be:
find . -type d -size +1G

where . is the path here and if we want to do it from the root directory:
sudo find / -type d -size +1G

However, nothing was found when I know for sure there are folders that have more than 1GB of content.  How is that done?
I also tried Finder and when we press space in the search field, the criterion to add has &quot;File Size&quot; but not &quot;Folder Size&quot;.
find doesn't auto-sum so it only looks at the size of each individual item (which in this case would be the directory entry itself). You could do something like
du -h / | grep -E '^[0-9 .]+[GTP]\t'
