Bring back the counter for selected files

In the info section there used to be a counter for the number of files selected. I used this regularly to total up files for clients. I was very disappointed to  see that it had disappeared with the UI update recently.

It was a very useful feature for me. Please reinstate it.

  • Thanks for your reply. I have an update.
    The screenshot was taken in Chrome. I tried in Safari also with the same result. However I tried it in the root folder and it worked as in your screenshot. I then tested other sub-foldera and it now appears!
    So, I'm guessing it is something to do with me directly going to a sub-folder from a browser link since the UI update....
    Anyhow, I'm glad it's working and I hope this helps if anyone else has an issue.

    Hey! 

     

    Do you have a potential screenshot of your page for reference of the missing counter?  There is a file counter on the number selected in the box under red. Is this what you were referring to?

      My file counter exactly as shown in your screenshot suddenly disappeared today 8/7/24.  How do I get it back?

    This is the screenshot of file counter in the old design! It lives outside of the info blade.

    Thanks for your reply. I cannot see it as in your screenshot.

    I've attached a copy of my screen on Chrome.

    Thank you for the screenshot for reference. I will take this back to the team to investigate!
