How do I show folder sizes in Finder?

In Finder, the Size column only displays the sizes of files. How do I display folder sizes as well?

I know I can see it with Get Info, but I'd like it to be shown in this list.

In Monterey, Finder > View > Show View Options, check "Calculate all sizes".

You need to click on the Finder Window's List View and press cmd+J to open Show View Options. On that panel is a checkbox for calculate all sizes. And it accurately shows the folder size in list view once you set it. Works on a per Finder Window setting, not all Finder windows.


I have a separate Quick Action that when I right-click on a folder, it displays the total files and file size for files in that folder as bytes. It excludes package folders and dot files. This correlates with the rounded value shown for calculate all sizes for the same folder.


Tested: macOS 14.4
