    Hi niklasrudemo, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    Did you follow the second step in the article to locate the Size column? You need to click the dropdown arrow next to one of the column headers, and then click Size.

     

    Afterwards, the rest of the steps should help.

     

    Hope this helps!

Nothing shows under size just --

so How can I know the size of data in a folder and all its subfolders?

    Hey @mandro H. - thanks for nudging us on this thread. 

     

    If you don't see the option to calculate the size of a folder after selecting it, you need to make sure that one of the columns at the top read "Size". 

     

    Let me know if this helps, cheers!
