View Folder Size On File Explorer

[Muhlis]

I'm searching for an add-on or something where I can see the folder sizes instantly in the File Explorer (the default one doesn't show it). I don't want to open properties or Treesize or every time I want to look at the folder size (also I don't prefer to use any third-party File Explorer). Do you guys have any suggestions?

This promises to do that: http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/

But it also explains why it's difficult:

There are some problems:

 

• Sizes are difficult to interpret correctly! Since Windows Vista, the system makes use of hard links, where the same physical file can appear in multiple directory entries. This has the effect of making the Windows directory appear larger than it really is! I think the best solution is to split Size into two concepts: Logical Size and Physical size. I've started this, but it's not working yet.
• The background service is difficult to manage with Windows's UAC model. The system-permissions service should really be abandoned in favour of user-level caches. The service already does this internally. This would work better with multiple accounts in Windows XP too.
• Background scanning is not optimized: Windows Vista/7/8 support I/O priorities, which should be used to keep scanning fast while keeping the system responsive.
• Popup windows frequently cover up Explorer's Close button. The popups auto-size and position, but it's tricky. Ideally, simple UI behaviour would handle many usage styles: small or maximized Explorer windows, single or multiple monitors, etc.

[edit] Nvm, I just checked it and it's not what you were looking for.

In 10, it just gives you a little pop up, it's not full integration.
