Hey crackeryaker, can you click on the arrow (dropdown menu) next to the "Modified" column header, choose "Size" and then try to find the "calculate size" option, to see if that works?
I am looking for the same thing - folder size. No "Calculate Size" feature.
Can you tell us if this only works with a certain browser?
I am using Chrome on apple laptop.

Hi Kimbl, this is on the Dropbox site. You need to change the columns to show Size first, and then you'll get more options to view the size of folders.
Additionally, the ellipsis you need to click is not the one at the very top when you're in the folder. You need to navigate to the parent folder see that folder in the list (as you do with your files), and click the ellipsis from there, like in the image Rich provided.
I can't rearrange topic heading... It does not give me an option
