Hi invisiblehelmet,
Hm...🤔 strange... I just tried and and it seems working:
After click on "Calculate size" the size of all folder start calculating... and next some time finishes. It calculates folder by folder sequentially, so may take some time if you have lot of files.

Same problem but I don't see ellipses --- I'm seeing Create, Upload, Create Folder.

Hi sysadminz, the ellipsis would be on the right of the folder when viewing it from the parent folder above, like so.

Jay Indeed - but this thread is about calculating the size of ALL folders - and that function does not exist. Obviously Dropbox would prefer users to purchase additional space rather than providing a tool that would help us to do housekeeping.

Hi everyone, hope it’s OK to jump in.
Unfortunately, we’re unable to comment on product decisions, but I can surely pass on the feedback to our team. We'll share any updates on this here.
Thanks!
