How can I find the total number of files in a folder?
Boy, am I disappointed with Dropbox. I assumed that each folder would display the number of files in that folder, without me jumping through all kinds of hoops. This seems not to be the case, however...
Are you referring to the Dropbox website or the folder on your computer. If it's the folder, use the features of your opreating system for that. If it's the Dropbox website, select all the files in the folder and the count will be shown in the upper right.
No matter how the question is posed, the standard replies are:
1. use the Dropbox folder on your PC, and then you can use your PC to find out. Problem solved. (The problem is the website of course!)
2. Using the website? Then do a CTRL-A and you'll see the number of folders top right. Problem Solved. (Come on!)
There is never a simple answer to what people want to know, i.e. how can we find the number of files in a folder including ALL SUBFOLDERS? (This is something people commonly do in a simple way with Windows, i.e ight click on a folder, select Properties.)
Can you find this information in Dropbox?
