Calculate all folder sizes
How do I calculate the size of multiple folders at once?
I'm trying to find the largest folders on my Dropbox, so I can delete them. I'd like to calculate the file size of all folders on my account. I can calculate the folder sizes one by one following the directions in this forum, but when I select multiple folders, the "calculate size" option is no longer available.
thanks!

Hi invisiblehelmet,
Hm...🤔 strange... I just tried and and it seems working:
After click on "Calculate size" the size of all folder start calculating... and next some time finishes. It calculates folder by folder sequentially, so may take some time if you have lot of files.

Thanks! Your screenshot helped! It appears I had a few files included in my selection of folders and that made the "Calculate size" option go away. Thanks!
There is no menu option for CALCULATE Size.
I've changed browsers.
I've cleared the cache
I've run a browser in troubleshooting mode.
I can not calculate a folder size
Same problem but I don't see ellipses --- I'm seeing Create, Upload, Create Folder.
sysadminz, The ellipses are still there (a bit bellow, when you have selected folders), but "Calculate Size" is stripped unfortunately. 🤷

This doesn't work anymore. The top 3-dots button still appears when selecting multiple folders, but doesn't show Calculate size anymore, just a few commands like Move and Download:
When clicking on the 3-dots button on the right of a single folder line, it cancels multi-selection and only selects the clicked folder.
So currently you have to Calculate each folder size one by one...
