How to cCheck Size of a share/folder?
I may be missing something very simple here but I can't seem to view the size of a share or any folder via the web admin -> shares menu. When using the list view, there are 4 columns;Name, Type, Size...

Now there is some use for simply knowing the total file space in the main share - ignoring the snapshots and CoW and simply summing up the sizes of the files as you say
I think that should be added to start with; just about every second post in the forum talks about backing up your data but it would be nice to know how much space is required on the external storage to actually do that backup, and that number would not include snapshots/CoW.
So just add that with a note saying "file space (excluding snapshots & CoW data)".
