Folders size
How can I see the size of the folders in my Dropbox? I'm reaching the storage limit, but I only have Word and PDF files. I would like to know which ones are the heaviest to delete them. I've tried to "calculate size" but I can't really see that option when I select all the folders. How should I proceed? thanks
Hi there hugosc- thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
Can you confirm that you're following these steps and if so, that you're able to calculate the size of your folders one by one instead of all of them in one go for example?
Thanks!

Thank you for your quick answer, @walter!
I tried to follow those steps but I can't see any of those options. I see no size columns for files nor "calculate size" in the "..." for folders.
Is there any configuration that I should activate?
Thanks

Hey hugosc, in order to see the "Calculate size" option, first you need to click the dropdown menu on the far right of the "Name" column header in the all files page (right above your file names).
Change it to "size" from the options there and you'll then be able to see the "calculate size" option when clicking the ellipsis button.
