I know I can click on a folders, then click details, to get the folder size but this isn't practical. How can I see the size without jumping through all the hoops? Also why does the Size column show number of file and not the "size"?

Hi Mark, 

Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

At present, the workflow you described is the fastest way to determine the size of a folder in Box, and the 'size column' is expected to show users the file count in a folder.

For any product feature request or suggestions, we recommend you post your idea on pulse.box.com for more visibility. Our product team reviews all submissions and will consider whether to include feedback in their product roadmap. 

Should any new functionality/ feature come out, we will definitely announce it in Box Product Announcements.

Thanks for your participation in the Community!

Regards,
