Calculating folder size in Local/Staging panes

Tab visibility

To calculate the size of a folder in the Local or Staging panes, complete the following steps:

  1. Launch the Staging Explorer.
  1. Select and open the drive that contains the folders for which you want to calculate size.
  2. Hover over the folder you want to calculate and click the Calculate (binoculars) button that displays under the Size column. The Calculating… status displays briefly under the Size column during calculation. When finished, the size of the folder displays in that column. Click the binoculars icon again to recalculate the column, if needed. More detailed information about the calculated folder, size, number of folders, and files displays at the bottom of the pane.
      Notes:
    • You can hold down CTRL to select multiple individual folders or SHIFT to select all the folders between the first one you selected and the next. With the folders selected, you can click any of their binocular icons to begin the calculation.
    • Calculated data is not persistent. When you change the directory or refresh it, all calculated size data is lost, and you will have to use the Calculate button again to view the data.
