Moving folders · Moving folders to a cloud account
Why does a cloud folder show a dash instead of a size in Data Parking?
Short answer: Working out a cloud folder's size would mean a long series of requests to the provider for every row, which would make browsing crawl. So Storage Studio shows a dash instead of guessing. Local and fast-drive folders are measured in full.
Because sizing a cloud folder would mean asking the provider about everything inside it, one request at a time, for every row on screen — browsing would crawl. Rather than show a number it hasn't really got, Storage Studio shows a dash.
Folders on your Mac and on the fast drive are always measured in full. If you need a cloud folder's total, the provider's own website usually shows it.
