Thanks for reviewing my code and suggesting improvements, Jan. I've just uploaded a revision that addresses all of your concerns except for the directory movements. I'll play with those a bit later.

There is no need to use the evil EVAL! "Dynamic fieldnames" work for over 10 years now:

a.b = 15
s = 'b'
disp(a.(s))

You omit the first two replies from the DIT command hoping, that they are '.' and '..', but this is not a documented feature. It would be safer to check these names explicitly.
Instead of changing the current directory and using "dir", you could create the new folder names and use "dir(dirIn)" instead.
"isdir(a(x).name)" is much slower than "a(x).isdir", because DIR replies the information already.
FULLFILE is safer than "[dirIn '\' a(x).name]": E.g. dirIn can contain a trailing file separator already, e.g. C:\, and FULLFILE would care about the file separator for different operating systems also.

Most of all a help text would be a valuable improvement. Even ths usage of this function is not complicated, using this function in the real life requires that "help DirSize" replies a useful help. See Matlab's own functions or other functions in the FEX for the style of documentation Matlab users are accustomed to.
