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

I see the total storage is shown in the basic dropbox that I have. But I wanted to see the size of each file I have on Dropbox. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought in the past you could see this. I can't seem to find how to do this now.
Also, is there no live chat or phone support for Basic subscriptions? If there is, I can't find it.

You can change one of the column headers to show Size.

No, there isn't. Basic (free) accounts are limited to the self-help options that are available, including the chat bot, help center articles or asking a question on this Community.
