linux - How to count number of files in each directory?

Question

I am able to list all the directories by

find ./ -type d

I attempted to list the contents of each directory and count the number of files in each directory by using the following command

find ./ -type d | xargs ls -l | wc -l

But this summed the total number of lines returned by

find ./ -type d | xargs ls -l

Is there a way I can count the number of files in each directory?

Answer 1

This prints the file count per directory for the current directory level:

du -a | cut -d/ -f2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
