Is there a way to get an accurate count of the number of individual files in my account?
It's alot but I don't know of an easy way to see this. I can see in my finder window how many folders are at any particular stage. Can anyone assist or show me where I can view that information?

Hey davidgTX - thanks for joining our Community!
Can you let me know if you're using the desktop app or if you were referring to the website instead?
Did you come across this conversation by any chance?
Let me know more and we'll take it from there, David.
Hello. I use both. But from the link you shared with me it sounds like there is no easy solution whether its in my finder window or on the website. The snag in all those messages you sent and the issue they seem to run into is the same. My dropbox is filled with files that live within a ton of individual folders with files that are within folders within those folders. The issue is there doesn't seem to be a way to simply view how many files i have in total within my Dropbox account. An easy way to view this would be very much appreciated.

Do you keep all of your files in your computer's hard drive by any chance davidgTX?
If you have set your files in your Dropbox folder to be available offline, you could select the Dropbox folder and check its properties to see how many files you've got stored there.
In case you'd like more assistance with this though, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team as they'd be better equipped to help you with account specific information, if needed.
