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 column of file sizes in the list view. A total size for the current folder would also be helpful. Is there some hidden easier way to show storage used by each fileor folder? Even the total storage "used"information is inaccurate since it combines shared storage from other accounts. This information would be more intuitive if displayed as "unshared", "shared", and "combined".Solved12KViews2likes14Comments

Calculate all folder sizes
How do I calculate the size of multiple folders at once? I'm trying to find the largest folders on my Dropbox, so I can delete them. I'd like to calculate the file size of all folders on my account. I can calculate the folder sizes one by one following the directions in this forum, but when I select multiple folders, the "calculate size" option is no longer available. thanks!Solved9KViews2likes19Comments

Grid View when accessing shared folders through shared links?
I find it incredibly frustrating that I cannot view images in a folder by grid. The idea ofcreating an album for each folder seems crazy -- especially as those folders seem to be on a per account basis rather than across our cloud storage. I find it frustrating that I would have to then search for an album in a non list way to view its contents, which with the 60+ albums I'd have to make, could become impossible quite quickly, when all I want is to be able to view the contents of a folder in grid view. If this is something that an archaic system lik Microsoft can offer, dropbox should be able to offer it as well.Solved6.2KViews5likes6CommentsHow to view size of Dropbox folder isn't working for me
I'm trying to determine how much space my "pictures" folder is taking up by following these instructions. However, they're not working for me. In step 5, when I click the ellipsis, I don't see an option to "Calculate Size". Are these instructions out of date or am I just doing it wrong? I've attached links that show what I'm doing. Thanks.

On my new laptop I installed the Dropbox app and found that my HDD space was in the red, I uninstalled it and find the HDD space is changing, but not by much (I have around 90Gb on Dropbox). I then login to Dropbox via the browser and wonder if that is what's causing my HDD space to go in the red? Can anyone help?Solved4.2KViews0likes17Comments
