    Unfortunately no.

    You can get an idea using Windows properties, but with Windows 8 that is not accurate (it is fine with win7 though). For the main folders you can tell most accurately using SSH.

    Neither will give you any idea on snapshot size (and there is no way to tell the on-disk space of the snapshot unless the BTRFS quota feature is enabled. BTRFS quotas are still a bit experimental, so Netgear currently has them left them off.
