k4dirstat
K4DirStat (KDE Directory Statistics) is a small utility program that sums up disk usage for directory trees, very much like the Unix 'du' command. It displays the disk space used up by a directory tree, both numerically and graphically (copied from the Debian package description). (by jeromerobert)

I use hashdeep. You have to install ipkgui on Synology and then md5deep through that which includes hashdeep (or just use md5deep). You can read up on hashdeep/md5deep here in the docs folder: https://github.com/jessek/hashdeep/

How do I manage years of data?
Started to be able to bring some order after I discovered hashdeep. Basically I started from a reasonably clean disk with folders to sort files, created lists of hashes using hashdeep, then used it to scan all my existing disks for unknown files. With the correct flags hashdeep can list all files it finds on a disk that it has not in its lists already. That help a lot to figure out what is worth wasting time on. It also is useful because every now and then that makes me realize the copy of some old file I have is broken (probably usually because it was stored on some CDROM that was no longer good).

Huh cool, I'll have to give that a go! There's also K4DirStat if you have a craving for the WinDirStat style.

The Graphical Disk Information in Filelight KDE is not very intuitive for me, and that's what comes out of the box. Do most people adapt or is there something worth changing to?
But as you asked...kdirstat still exists (I think this is the one all others used as inspiration) and there is also qdirstat
What are some alternatives?
When comparing hashdeep and k4dirstat you can also consider the following projects:
AntiDupl - A program to search similar and defect pictures on the disk
QDirStat - QDirStat - Qt-based directory statistics (KDirStat without any KDE - from the original KDirStat author)
snapraid - A backup program for disk arrays. It stores parity information of your data and it recovers from up to six disk failures
cshatag - Detect silent data corruption under Linux using sha256 stored in extended attributes
PhotoPrism - AI-Powered Photos App for the Decentralized Web 🌈💎✨
RHash - Great utility for computing hash sums
czkawka - Multi functional app to find duplicates, empty folders, similar images etc.
dupeguru - Find duplicate files
