How can I check the size of my folders in Dropbox?

Question  When I use my Dropbox from the browser I can see the size of my Dropbox and how much of that space is being used. But if I click on folders within my Dropbox I cannot see how many files are...

    How do you get the SIZE of the folder?  in MB or GB.  Not the number of files. The size. The help says click on the elipsis and select 'Calculate Size'. That is not an option in my menu.
