Greg-DB,
Is it now possible to get the size of a folder?
or we still need to do it manually as you said?

bellomsean No, unfortunately the API still doesn't offer a way to do this directly, so you'd still need to calculate the sum.

LouisCorleone Yes, that's correct. The Dropbox API still doesn't offer a way to retrieve this value directly.

I do suggest store the file size into database, which will be more faster to sum than call the api.
