Hi there hugosc- thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
Can you confirm that you're following these steps and if so, that you're able to calculate the size of your folders one by one instead of all of them in one go for example?

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey hugosc, in order to see the "Calculate size" option, first you need to click the dropdown menu on the far right of the "Name" column header in the all files page (right above your file names).
Change it to "size" from the options there and you'll then be able to see the "calculate size" option when clicking the ellipsis button.
The problem with the instructions is it brings everyone to the ALL FILES column listing of the folders from where the instructions make no sense. Instead the instructions should direct the user to folders listings under the large ''Drop files here to upload here...'' box in the middle of the page toward the bottom. Everything makes sense here and works smoothly from that point forward.
