How can we improve Proton Drive?

← Proton Drive

Folder info (size, stats)

In details I'd like to see the number of files and folders inside a chosen folder and it's total size.
It'd be also cool to be able to see details for a number of selected folders combined, so I could check the info for a few folders placed next to each other.

    The folder sizes should be visible in the Size column (not needing to right click the folder and then click for details).

    Agree on this, had my Proton Drive stating that I was at maximum...

    Had planned a cleaning task to clean out the rubbish, but was trying to see where the issue was.

    I was not able to point where the data was, 2 weeks after the total size suddenly dropped from 520Gb max to 85Gb size....

    No data deleted, no nothing, just went from weeks on maximum suddenly to 85Gb used....

    Would be very important to be able to review the folder size in the properties of the selected folder...

    Example

    folder 1 100GB
    folder 2 120GB
    folder 3 10GB > subfolder 1 4GB

    If I select folder 2, and folder 3's subfolder, i would like to see that it equals 124GB when I click details

    I seen votes for folder size, but this one is specifically for viewing details of multiple selected folders

    using ubuntu the chrome extension will not handle a ton of traffic, it'll crash without any error, or prompt to send a crash report. I'd love to know how much of my data was backed up at a glance, otherwise I have to go into each sub-folder>select all>right click>information and basically add up all the sizes and files then compare them to the master folder from which I was trying to upload. Or start a complete re-upload of a particular folder and have to go through the process of replacing folders and skipping files. It doesn't take forever, but as I'm not sure exactly how much of the master folder was successfully uploaded, It can be a gamble for me at times to start another upload and go through the "replace folders-"skip all duplicate files" prompts.
    I, myself; and I'm sure so many others are just ridiculously busy all of the time...I'd like to go in even from another device (e.g. Android) and check the total size of the folder I've uploaded. At least if I share it, or plan to re download the data to another device, Ill have some idea of what kind of storage it'll occupy. idk..it just seems kinda obvious and/or necessary.

    Thanks OP-This is a much needed...Most needed feature!! imo.

    The Windows app is a mystery wondering which folders are being worked on (being uploaded) and how much data in each has been sent / left to go.
