    No. I use Tree Size Free to review folder size https://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/

    Not possible. Reason is it would massively slow down file explorer especially with very dynamic folders.

    Use Treesize (just got beaten to post on this).

    You could also install another file manager like FreeCommander.

    You can see that for yourself if you look at the properties of a folder that has a lot of files in it. Takes ages to count them all...

    This is not possible using Explorer (Used to be in older versions of Windows)
    You have to use a separate tool
    I recommend: Directory Report
    It looks just like the MS-Explorer but always shows the folder size

    There's a reason for this, it's because it takes time to process and slows the system down. Will cause a lot of background activity.

    I'd only do this if it was very important to know file sizes.

    Right-click a Folder, click Properties, wait for it to be indexed.

    Berton: Right clicking on folders gets very tiresome very quickly
    Thats why a separate tool is necessary
