How can I see the size of all files in a folder?
Most file storage systems at least have a column with file sizes. The only way I can find in DropBox to see file sizes is to individualy view a file's history. Ideally, I want to see a sortable colum...

As does Dropbox. Just change the column header to show Size.
A total size for the current folder would also be helpful.Display the Size column, select a folder and click Calculate size from the menu on the right.
Even the total storage "used" information is inaccurate since it combines shared storage from other accounts.It's not inaccurate and it's not combining storage from other accounts.. The content of a shared folder resides in your account, so it takes up space in your account. ANY files or folders in your account will count against your own storage quota, even those that are shared with you.
The help says login in look at file size Colum, if you don't see it hover over and select the size colum. I do not see any Colum, nothing pops up or down. I have spent an hour to reduce the file size of files by looking for large files. I can not see file size to delete files. This is a very bad page layout. The GUI sucks

Click the down arrow on any column header (other than Name) and you can choose Size, Type, etc.
