I spent 30 minutes chatting with their online help staff, and THEY didn't know this.
'''Dropbox''' is an online service that lets you share files between different computers.
==Calculating Folder Size==
How can I calculate the size of a folder?
It says I'm using 5GB of 8.75 GB but I need to know which folders are the biggest.
I tried clicking the box next to my "ELA" folder and then going over to the right pane to click the ellipsis (...) button. I get a bunch of commands, but I couldn't find the "Calculate Size" command. Where is it, please? :-)
To calculate Dropbox folder size
1. Go to the "All files" overview on the website
2. Make sure one of the columns says "Size".
For example, if it says "Type"
Click on "Type" and a menu pops up
Choose Show | Size from the pop-up menu
3. In the right column, choose the ellipsis (...) button and pick "Calculate size" from the pop-up menu.
* Note: if none of your columns says "Size" at the top, this won't work!
