Posted on by simonjhudson

Provide a mechanism for getting the file size of a file in a SharePoint library.

This should be an option in Dynamic Content, ideally.

There are numerous scenarios where checking the file size is important, including dealing with the limits on the Vision API (4MB maximum). Without it we are failing some Flows and also loading thevarious services with unsupportable actions.

Hi @simonjhudson,

You could get the file size using Get file metadata action.

Please take a try.

Comploetely missed that, so many thanks Barry. There are multiple accounts online of this not being possible, so I don't feel quite so embarrassed by not seeing it.
It has now been successfully incorporated into my epic Flow.

How can I accomplish this when the user selects a local file? an expression like this doesn't do the trick: length(triggerBody()?['file']?['contentBytes']) > 75000000
Please advise, Thank you!
