How can I find the total number of files in a folder?
Boy, am I disappointed with Dropbox. I assumed that each folder would display the number of files in that folder, without me jumping through all kinds of hoops. This seems not to be the case, however...
Did anyone come up with a nifty solution to this problem?
Are you referring to the Dropbox website or the folder on your computer. If it's the folder, use the features of your opreating system for that. If it's the Dropbox website, select all the files in the folder and the count will be shown in the upper right.

Yes, this is sorely needed. It should show the amount of files in a folder.
Also, we should be able to choose to have more than 3 columns displayed if we want. For example, I would want Name, Size, # of files, and date last modified.
Lastly, it should carry over into integrations. I have found that the size is not carrying over into our Salesforce.com for folders.
This doesn't seem that hard, quite being obtuse Dropbox and let people customize their file organization experience per their preferences, not what you think people want...
There is no way to tell how many files in a folder. It would be nice to be able to tell if all 250 images uploaded correctly by looking at how many are in the folder.

Select all the files in the folder, and the number of selected files appears on teh right side of the page.
Thank you for welcoming me into the DB community.
I am a photographer so I mainly use Dropbox to back up all photos and videos. Is there a way to see the numbers of photos and vids I've backed up in Dropbox?
I would just like what you offer to work better. Look at what I get. I can guess that it might be 365 or 385. But the presentation of this data is useless when I'm trying to ensure all files are uploaded before I delete from my PC.
