    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.

I cant seem to get any file sizes from anywhere. Not even the info panel on the right. I would also like to filter all my file sizes. Can anyone advise?
