P: Ability to see file size in Lightroom Mobile

Please allow us to see the file size in Lightroom Mobile. I recently had an issue with a file that was taking forever to download from the cloud. Knowing what size the file actually was would have made figuring out the issue much easier. Plus it's just nice to have that info readily available.

The ability to read exif data and edit it would be nice too.

If I view a single file in the mobile app, I get these options when clicking on the three dots in the righthand corner: save copy to device, organize, view options, create preset, copy settings, paste settings, apply from previous, and start slide show.

In the upper left corner, where it says "edit," I can click the drop down menu, which gives me: info, rate & review, activity. If I click on the info, it gives me all the basic info except for file size. There's the file name, it's size in pixels, date & time, camera & lens info, and exif info (which is usually blank for some reason), and keywords. There's nothing I can click on, except a few items such as the title, caption, and copyright. It seems like the file size would be stored here. Rate & Review, along with Activity also have no file size info. I've checked various files and formats, but none have the file size.

I can also click on the sync button, and there's an option to download the file to my phone, rather than working in Smart Preview. Again, this would be a great place to put the actual file size. However, it isn't there. I've checked everywhere I can think of, and every menu, yet can't find anything that tells you the file size of the photo. The only place that ever tells you how much data is being used is in the main menu, and it is only the total of the local storage being used.

If you are viewing a single photo and view Info and Rating (via the three dots menu), does this provide what you are looking for?
