In cmd you need to use a for loop and convert the file info to the format you want.

For %_ in ("C:\FolderPath\*") DO @(Set /A %~z_ / 1048576 &Echo. Mb    %~nxt_ )

NOTE: It is essential that you include a File Mask (In my example case *, but it could also be Somefile*.* or *.* or some other variant)

Example Results:

C:\Admin>For %_ in ("C:\*") DO @(Set /A %~z_ / 1048576 &Echo. Mb    %~nxt_ )
