Determining size of shared folder

[parsobarus]

How can you query the size of a shared folder? When I right-click and select properties, it doesn't tell me the size.

The shared folder uses the entire capacity of the HDD.

The shared folder uses the entire capacity of the HDD.

Each shared folder uses the capacity needed to store its contents, not the "entire capacity of the HDD". If that were true, you could only have one shared folder on each HDD.

I finally got the size by selecting everything inside the folder and right-click>Properties. This wouldn't work on my XP machine, but does on my Win7 machine. On XP, the hourglass appeared for about 5 minutes and then ... nothing happened.

On QNAP NASs, the browser-based control panel will tell you the sizes. I found this script, but it doesn't give you the total size of the shared folder. http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/c24a28a2-2c9e-4ece-b43d-3209dfbdaadd

Instead, it outputs a text file with the sizes of individual folders inside of the shared folder. Not useful when you have 600+ folders inside the share like I do.
