    Hi paulflute, is it a shared folder, or a shared link? 

     

    Provided it's a shared folder, you should be able to view it using your sharing tab. Can you calculate its size using these steps, and let me know more?

Hi Megan.. thanks for your links.. the problem is solved..

I was able to see the size there and the folder is 20 gig..

I will contact my colleague and ask him to remove the unnecessary..

I only need 4 small files for the work he needs from me..

Thanks everyone for your help..  ;9) paul
