Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Create an empty folder with the app
2. Go into that new folder
3. Create an empty folder in it
4. Go back
5. Open the properties for the folder of step 1

Now it displays:
Direct children count: 1
Total files count: 1

I don't think it should count that folder inside the folder as file at all.
This issue also applies to folders that contain other files and it seems to count each folder as file too.

"Files by Google" don't have this issue and returns the correct values for folder and file count.

Another example:
I have a folder with 6 visible items and one hidden folder (.thumbnails) which contains 8 files.

With "Temporarly show hidden" on:
Main shows 7 items
Properties:
Direct children count: 7 (6 files + 1 folder, this is fine, because 7 visible direct items)
Total files count: 15 (Seems to count 6 direct files + 8 files in thumbnails + 1 thumbnails folder)

Expected behavior

Correct count for the files.

Actual behavior

Files counter is, which might be related that folders are seen as files too.

Total files count: 13 (This seems to be wrong at all)

That sounds like a different issue with hidden files. Please file it separately and remove it from here.

I'm thinking the phrasing should be updated to explicitly say "x files, y folders"

Yeah, wasn't sure if i should suggest it here or create a new feature request for that, because i was thinking the same, that the properties should just display the folder count (including subfolders) and how many files (including the files inside any subfolder) are in this parent folder.
