Hi invisiblehelmet,
Hm...🤔 strange... I just tried and and it seems working:
After click on "Calculate size" the size of all folder start calculating... and next some time finishes. It calculates folder by folder sequentially, so may take some time if you have lot of files.

sorry to respond to an older thread, but since it was on the same topic i wanted to see if anyone had any feedback. i noticed the calculate size is no longer available for multiple folders, but is available for individual folders. I opened a ticket with support and was told the multiple folders size is no longer available. i wanted to see if this is truly the case and if so why such a useful feature would be removed. we cant sync all of the folders and use explorer/finder, that isnt a valid workaround.

I imagine Dropbox doesn't want people to know the size of their folders because that would make it easy to delete larger ones to save space - when of course they want us to buy MORE space. Pure commercial decision.....
