### 7.8.1. Viewing a Folder’s Size Before Downloading

Before you download a folder, you can use the Show Folder Size action to estimate the size of the download. This will help you determine whether you should use the browser or the File Transfer Client to download the folder. If the folder is fairly small in size, it may download more quickly with the browser.

To view the size of a folder prior to download:

1. In the file list window, select the folder that you want to download.

2. Right-click and select Download > Show Folder Size. The Show Folder Size dialog box appears. It displays the total size of the folder as well as the size of each folder within it.

3. Click OK.

Note: If a folder contains a link or shortcut to another object, the referenced object will be included in the download.
