Hi sysadminz, the ellipsis would be on the right of the folder when viewing it from the parent folder above, like so.
Jay Indeed - but this thread is about calculating the size of ALL folders - and that function does not exist. Obviously Dropbox would prefer users to purchase additional space rather than providing a tool that would help us to do housekeeping.
So if I am reading the tea leaves correctly from here and another posts, this functionality used to be there but has been removed. Right? @Jay can you comment on why removed and how we get it back? Thanks.
