When viewing files within my reactor panel, why does it not show/calculate the file sizes please;

Hi @DazFisher

Those are all folders, not files. It doesn’t calculate folder size, just file sizes.

It’s the same with most control panels, cPanel is the same. 🙂

Thanks Dan, so the only total I can go by is under package subscriptions and looking at Disk Space; 382MB of 10GB used?

Realistically that’s all you’d really need to pay attention to. If you are looking to see which folders are consuming the most disk space, I can give you a fancy SSH command that you can enter in your terminal app to view that information. 🧑‍💻

Or I think some third-party FTP clients can do folder size. Cyberduck perhaps? I’d need to check…this would probably be the more user friendly option.

Thanks Dan,

I can open each folder to see individual files sizes then sort column by largest …….. but my gallery for example has over 100 images and although I can see each individual size it doesn’t total?

Correct, again the panel won’t show that.

You can use a third-party FTP client though, below is Cyberduck. It can calculate folder sizes easily. 🙂
