Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Is there a way to display the size of overall folders (adding all file sizes together) in Azure storage explorer, similar to how it's done for individual files sizes?
Describe the solution you'd like
Display the sizes of folders (Adding up the sizes of all files within the folder and displaying the parent folder size.)
Describe alternatives you've considered
Adding up all files sizes manually to get the total size of the folder, however is a folder contains hundreds of files it can be time consuming.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by locating the Azure Storage Explorer folder listing and the existing display of individual file sizes; determine how all files within a folder are included in the total. Done means parent folders display aggregated sizes consistently, including folders containing many files.
