How can I view the number of files and images in a folder?
This seems like a simple enough task but I can't figure out how to view the number of anything in a folder. For example, how many of my images have transferred from my phone to my dropbox account? Wh...
You can in fact see the number of items on the Camera uploads folder by simply opening said folder on Quickview. From the ALL FILES menu you can hover your mouse pointer over the desired folder, and you will see an option that says "Quickview", and once clicked you will see a sidebar opening, and at the top there will be the folder name followed by the number of items on that folder. I have been doing picture and video backups for my family so this is how I check the correct number of files have been uploaded from each device.
Thanks for the info, but I don't get a "quickview" option when hovering, I get nothing. I do have a "settings" gear wheel and when opened to folder info says nothing. I have a Mac so maybe Windows users have the functionality you've described.

Thank you so much for the image.
I had to really hoover in a particular way to get the box to show up because mine showed nothing. However, my phone shows 9222 and the files in dropbox only shows 4900. The app says I don't have an ongoing uploads.
