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

There is no option to calculate size when I do this

Behavioral C, are you seeing the Modified header perhaps? If yes, please hover over it and an arrow should appear; click on it and you can select the Size option from the menu.
In case you're still having trouble with this, feel free to upload a screenshot of what you're seeing instead (while hiding your filenames).
