Method 1: Count the number of files in a Google Drive folder on a desktop PCġ. Method 3 covers another solution that only works if you have the Google Drive software running in background on a Windows PC and syncing the folder with the items to be counted. In this guide we'll cover how to count all files in a folder using the Android Google Drive app (method 2) or the web version of Google Drive, on a desktop PC (Windows, Mac, Linux) (method 1). This will result in folders with many photos in them (if, of course, you do take a lot of photos with your phone). A common scenario is when you set your Android phone to automatically back up your photos to Google Drive. If you have a lot of files in a Google Drive folder, there is no obvious way to tell how many items are inside that folder.
