File count and folder size?

Hi, i cant find the folder size and file count info for my folders online. Where can i see that? Should it not be visible in the folder tree on the login page? I have to make a quick comparison bet...

    It's totally ridiculous that it's impossible to view the simple number of files in a folder, much the less total size of the files in that folder.

    You mean like this:

     

     

    And this:

     

    Just select all files in a folder and you'll get the total number of items selected. For folder size, change one of the column headers to Size, select the folder, then click Calculate size from the menu on the right.
