Is there a way to see the number of files in a folder?
Good day fellow Drop Boxers :)
I have a unique situation - I have let's call it a two sided folder collection - one side is used for Prospective Clients and the other Active clients, I have some subfolders that are called "Random Things" to be Filed, there are 6 of them, on the prospect side similar folders with Client names. I then injected a "Short cut" into said folders so once they are done and can be placed in the Active side of things they simply add to short cut and it comes into my sub-folders.
What I am wondering very similar to text or emails - can a folder show how many files are within it at a glance or some kind of indicator? Does that make sense, just don't want to waste time over the day wondering if something is in any of these sub-folders to take action on.
Thanks in advance for your input - Pat

Hi there, patloomy, welcome to our Community!
Are you using the Dropbox website to organize your files?
If that's the case, you should be able to see the number of files in a folder, by checking the box next to the "Name" column header above your files in any folder.
This shouldn't show you the files the shortcut leads to, though.
I hope this clarifies things, but let me know if I misunderstood your question or if you need anything else.
Cheers!
