As discs get bigger it takes longer and longer to right-click-properties to get file sizes and the result can't be selected and copied into calc to ensure splitting over multiple external discs has written every file in the source folder. I've put that at the end of a robocopy batch piped to a text file then when the batch ends I've got a total file/folder/size metric that can be copy/pasted into calc to ensure the files and bytes are the same as the source. | |

du -sh <directory> is my go to on Linux (or windows w/ du via git) to show a human readable summary of the directory size.
