Is there a way to display size of a folder?
SharePoint does not have a native URL shortener. That doesn't mean you couldn't use a third-party service like bit.ly to achieve shortening, though.
As for your need to have links--where are you trying to make these links? If you're relying on the Hyperlink/Picture field type in a List, your issue is perfectly understandable, as there is a character limit there, but I've found that using a Multiple Lines of Text field to be a good workaround--if you have rich text turned on, hyperlinks made there don't have that character restriction, or at least it's not so high that SharePoint's own URLs don't fit. Also, if storing links in a Page with hyperlinks is acceptable to you, I've found the character limit is similar to what is experienced with Multiple Lines of Text.

Right-click folder > Properties to see the size.
Hover over the folder in File Explorer to check its size.
Use tools like TreeSize Free for detailed folder sizes.Using PowerShell:
- Open PowerShell as an administrator.
- Navigate to the folder you want to check using the cd command (for example, cd C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents).
- Run the command Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum to display the total size of all files in the current folder and its subfolders.
Most Linux desktop environments provide a file manager (like Nautilus for GNOME).
Click the View tab at the top and choose Details. This will show file size information.
You can use Finder:
- Open Finder and go to the folder you want to check.
- Right-click (or Control-click) the folder and select Get Info.
- A window will appear, and you can see the folder size under "General".
Windows File Explorer doesn't show folder sizes directly in the interface, but here are some ways to check:
- Hover Over the Folder: Place your mouse pointer over the folder, and a tooltip will display its size.
- Use Properties: Right-click the folder, select Properties, and the size will be shown in the popup window.
- Third-Party Tools: If you need detailed and batch size views, consider tools like TreeSize Free or WinDirStat.
These methods let you quickly check folder sizes when needed.
I think you can adjust the size via the settings.
