How to find my file, and folder count?

How to get an accurate count of files and folder like the count in Microsoft Explorer.   If you do not have this count and your dealing with thousands of files you will not know if you have backed up all your folders and files.  I read the previous comments, but that does not help.

    Hi John67, let's jump right into this! 

     

    Just to make sure I understand your request right, it seems that you'd like to be able to see your file count on the site, the same way you do when using the app, is that correct? 

     

    Indeed, we don't have a way to view your file count when visiting the website. However, here is a helpful Help Center article, that can help you make sure that your app is syncing correctly, and that it's up to date. 

     

    That way, your files should be reflected from within your Dropbox folder, to the website. 

     

    If you have any questions, I'm always around!
