How can I see the size of all files in a folder?
Most file storage systems at least have a column with file sizes. The only way I can find in DropBox to see file sizes is to individualy view a file's history. Ideally, I want to see a sortable colum...

As does Dropbox. Just change the column header to show Size.
A total size for the current folder would also be helpful.Display the Size column, select a folder and click Calculate size from the menu on the right.
Even the total storage "used" information is inaccurate since it combines shared storage from other accounts.It's not inaccurate and it's not combining storage from other accounts.. The content of a shared folder resides in your account, so it takes up space in your account. ANY files or folders in your account will count against your own storage quota, even those that are shared with you.

Thank you, as well. Having access to the individual amounts of shared and unshared files will indeed help when necessary to adjust for storage space.

Hey there,
When I click calculate size on two of my folders the size of each is calculated at 0MB, even though in one "0MB" folder, there are folders of 17.32 MB, and 8.3MB, and in the other "0MB" folder there's a folder of 337.88KB inside.
So the calculate size is not reliable. Or do subfolders not get included in the size calculation?
