How can I check the size of each single folder or few files together?
Hi All, Is there any way how to check size of the folder or even several selected files together via web browser?

You can select the size column.
It will show the file sizes. In case of folders, click the (...) and select Calculate size.

It is actually possible to calculate all folder sizes! You need to "Calculate Size" on the PARENT folder. So if you want to sort by folder size within a folder:
1) navigate back in the folder structure, to one folder level above
2) select the parent folder containing all the folders you want to sort by size
3) select "Calculate Size" on that parent folder
4) navigate into that folder, and voila – all sizes should be visible
5) sort by size in the dropdown

Click the ellipsis (three dots) next to a folder and select Calculate size.

The ellipsis options seem to have changed. I do not have an option to "calculate size".
This is all I have:

You're clicking on a file. You don't need to calculate size for files. Just change one of the column headers to Size. The Calculate Size option is available for folders.

No, I was clicking a folder before. Here is a larger screenshot:
