In Google Drive, you can use Sort
split-button and choose Quota Used
to show the size of each file there.
However, folder sizes are not shown.
I guess it's really a basic requirement in order to manage folders in Google Drive. I have a folder full of subfolders and files, and I can't go summing up the size of each file recursively.
I need to decide whether deleting this folder or not. But I need to know it's size beforehand.
Is there any way to see how much volume a folder has taken?

UPD: as Google started to block unverified scripts, the only way to use it is copy-paste the source to your script editor. And verification requires some extra effort, so I didn't do it yet.
UPD2: if you have a lot of files it will reach the execution time limit and stop; you will need to run it multiple times (you can also set up automatic timed trigger for this)
I wrote a simple script for this. You can run it from here: https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyUvNoXzBMBDE9pnHkLUltliGwjip5x09t3PeTY_1KoXO45F6iz/exec
(if it gets stopped, just run it once again, and it will continue from where it left)
It will create two files in the root of your Drive, one displays progress and is deleted after script is completed. Other is the report which lists all folders and sizes. It looks like this.
Or you can just copy and paste the code into Google Script editor and run "doGet()" function from there:
UPD: the script was updated so that if it runs too long and is stopped, just run it once more and it will resume from where it left, using data stored in "Getting Folder Sizes ..." file.
