# File Count in Nested Folders

The Counter Feature is designed to show the total number of files within a nested folder. It enables users to see at a glance how many files are contained within folder and subfolders. 

To set this up, make sure the **Nested Folders** option is enabled and the **Show Number of Items** box is checked. Next, decide whether you want to count files only within each folder or across both the parent folder and its nested subfolders. <br>
