Is there any way to display the size of folder in size column inside of Windows Explorer? By default, it only displays the size of a file, you have to use right click and properties or other way to check the size of a folder. I searched online, there are some 3rd party tools or explorers can do this.

To get the sizes of folders, I use WinDirStat

This is not exactly what you are asking for, but hopefully still helpful.

Depending on your needs you can use a simple VBS Script:

Dim oFS, oFolder
Set oFS = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFolder = oFolder.GetFolder("c:/Temp")
WScript.Echo Round(oFolder.Size/1024/1024,3) & " MiByte"

You can bring it down even to a single line:

WScript.Echo Round(WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetFolder("c:/Temp").Size/1024/1024,3) & " MiByte"

One can use Windhawk's Better file sizes in Explorer details mod (gratis, open-source). It displays the folder size in a new column inside of Windows Explorer:
