2.) More information about folder size in Quad File Explorer!

Yes, specifying the folder size in Quad File Explorer makes sense. It provides the user with the following benefits:

Sorting by folder size:
The folder size can be used as a sorting criterion. This is useful for quickly finding large folders.

Filter by folder size:
The folder size can be used as a filter criterion. This is useful for only showing folders of a certain size.

In Quad File Explorer, the folder size is displayed in a separate column. The size is specified in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes or terabytes. The user can sort or filter the size in the column as desired.
