Is there a way to view the size of a folder on the Dropbox web?
I tried using the instructions from Dropbox here, but they seem to be outdated and do not work.

In the web interface click repeatedly the second column header, i.e. Type until it shows Size - then you will see the size of all the items in the current folder.
Update:
In the latest version it is now a drop-down that you can click and select Size.
You could try this method posted on Mac OS X Hints:
Just stick the folder of files into your public folder, and head to the Dropbox webapp. Click on the folder you want to share, then click the “Get Link” button at the top of the page. Add ?dl=1 to the end of it, and send that link to your friends. It’ll zip the file up for them and download it to their computer. (Lifehacker synopsis)
