Calculating folder size using C# SDK
I was looking into calculating total file size within a folder programmatically for display purposes. I have a method that calls DropboxClient.ListFoldersAsync with the path and recursive set to true...
No, unfortunately I can't think of any other workarounds for this.

Dropbox StaffThe public Dropbox API doesn't offer a direct way to get the total size of a folder, or to get the size of cloud file content, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. The functionality you found on the web site is not part of the public Dropbox API unfortunately.
I see, that's too bad. Has there been any decent workarounds you have encountered to simulate this functionality using the public API? I guess there is a reason Dropbox hasn't implemented this just yet publicly, so maybe this question is too forward.
