How can I check the size of each single folder or few files together?
Hi All, Is there any way how to check size of the folder or even several selected files together via web browser?
You can select the size column.
It will show the file sizes. In case of folders, click the (...) and select Calculate size.

It is actually possible to calculate all folder sizes! You need to "Calculate Size" on the PARENT folder. So if you want to sort by folder size within a folder:
1) navigate back in the folder structure, to one folder level above
2) select the parent folder containing all the folders you want to sort by size
3) select "Calculate Size" on that parent folder
4) navigate into that folder, and voila – all sizes should be visible
5) sort by size in the dropdown
Is there a way to show the folder sizes?
I've added the FOLDER size and would only show the individual file sizes once I drilled down further into the folder. Is there a way to show a folder size? The folders at my job have many layers/levels...for example, one might be Client Files/Smith/New Accounts/Savings/Application and it's very possible I would not know there is a document in this folder unless I drilled down many levels to find it. Looking for a way to find any documents that are lingering around in this set of client folders.

The ellipsis options seem to have changed. I do not have an option to "calculate size".
This is all I have:
