What tool can I use to count the number of "nested folders" ?

Hi,

TreeSize has a "Dir Level" Field that can be added to main view.

Run a scan
Select the Details tab
Right click on any column name such as Name or Size to be presented with a list of available fields
Select the "Dir Level" option which will be added to the end (you can click/drag it to any location you wish)

Thanks, I installed a Treesize Free, and there was no details tab but I did add the "Dir Level (Relative)" column.
However, its giving me the Dir level of the folder I currently click on. As I navigate down the tree it changes to the level where I am at.
I want to be able to right click a folder and have it tell me how many subfolders are in that folder.

Right Click on folder and select Properties. It'll give you the number of nested folders in there

Thanks but that give me the number of subfolders in that folder, but it does not give me how deep (how many levels) the nested folders are.

Thats loks great thanks. However, I am looking for a tool to tell me "how deep" the folders go.
This is because I can have up to 20 nested folder depth on Google cloud sync. And somewhere I am thinking I might have 20+ folders depth.
So, its not folder count I'm after, its # folder depth.

The answer to this question (and many others) can be had by using the Linux shell.
Linux co-runs on Windows ... so I use Ubuntu. It's superb.

The Linux shell (bash) can answer your question:

x=$(find . -type d -print | sed -e "s/[^/]//g" | sort -u | tail -1); echo ${#x}
