I'm also old enough to remember how buggy DoubleSpace was and, truth be told, that still kinda puts me off disk compression.

  NTSF compression is pretty transparent and robust. I usually have 60% of my main disk compressed (laptop, I need the space especially with multiple Visual Studios-installed) for many years and no failures in any way.

    As I understand it you've never had to recover your compressed files.

      I run off Google Drive or GitHub for all files. I think most people should. Local data is ephemeral.
