When I highlight several folders in Finder and do a get info, I get an info window for each folder. Is there a way to get a single window showing size of all folders highlighted?
Open a finder window and set the view to list view. Press command-J and select "calculate all sizes" then click "use as standard".
Now folder sizes will show in your finder. I don't think it is possible to show sizes for multiple folders, but this might be a good workaround.

cmd+alt/option+i will give you info on multiple highlighed items.

There are 3 forms of "Get Info":
1) Standard "Get Info
" achieved through Command+i which can potentially create multiple windows for each item selected.
2) "Get Summary Info
" achieved through Command+Control+i which uses a single window to show combined info about the selection:
3) "Inspector
", like @iskra mentioned, achieved through Command+Option+i, which is similar to 2)
except that it updates the info dynamically based on your selection.
Alternatively
- open Terminal.app
cd
to the directory 'above' the ones you need the size fordu -sh FOLDER1 FOLDER2
gives sizes in "human readable" format (Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte.)du -sm FOLDER1 FOLDER2
gives sizes in megabytesdu -sg FOLDER1 FOLDER2
gives sizes in Gigabytes

1Or go into terminal, type
du -sm
and drag all the files you want to include in the calculation in there – vrwim Jan 31 '16 at 23:07
