Folder size column in Windows 10?

I feel like this is a stupid question but is there a way to view the size of folders without mousing over which sometimes doesn't work and without going into properties which takes too long. There's a "size" column but it only shows file sizes which doesn't help me.

A couple of years ago I searched through Google for this same issue and the only thing I found was a program called Folder Size that can scan your drive and show the size of the folders but it shows in a separate program and won't show the size in file explorer.  If you want to try it you can find it here.

You mean like the bottom bar on windows 7 that showed all the file/folder info right?

At that rate I'd just use SpaceSniffer, something I already use. I wonder why they didn't code it into Windows, among many other things I could list lol.

I don't think so. That's only showing info for a file in a folder. I'm thinking something more like this:

Oooh, yeah, that's not possible in windows.

Maybe read this:

If you want to see the size of individual folders I would recommend using windirstat.
