# How do I see the total size of several selected files or folders?

Select the items in Finder and press **Option-Command-I** to open the Inspector, which shows the combined size of everything selected. (Plain Command-I opens a separate Get Info window for each item.)

Finder's status bar also shows how many items are selected, but not their total size.
