Most users opt for this trick to check the folder size, the number of files, see hidden files, rename folder, advanced sharing options, and more.

Hover the mouse pointer over the folder in the File Manager app and it will show the date created, time, folder size, and folder contains. But it does come with a glaring limitation.
