Folder information for Google Drive plugin

Post by *andrewedmondson »

I have installed the Googel Drive plugin, created a second gmail account, shared a folder from my original Google Drive.
Everything is working great. Thank you.
I am currently uploading 1000 videos to Google Drive and it is much faster than using the Google Drive app.
I want to see the number of files in a directory (and all its subdirectories), as well as its total size.
I can see that there is a plugin for this but I don't think it will work with the Google Drive plugin.
Is there any way around this?
I have 30 sub folders containing 20 000 photos and would like to see their total and number.
TIA

Unfortunately there are no functions in the Google Drive API to get the number of files and their sizes in a subdirectory. The plugin would have to read the entire directory, count the files, and sum up their sizes.

On Windows you could do Alt+Shift+Enter to get the total SIZES, but it is very slow. Command 115 on a button does the same on Android, but not in plugins so far because it's so slow and eats a lot of bandwidth.

I assume Ctrl+L, search and branch view can be used as well?
