Hi @SA-15051014-0,

A common workaround is converting the file to JSON/Base64 and estimating the size using Len().

Example:

UpdateContext( { varSize: (Len(JSON(ImageControl.Image, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData)) - 814) / 1370000 } )

Then display:

"Estimated file Size: "&Round(varSize, 2) &" MB"

Note: this is an approximation, not the exact original file size, because Base64 encoding increases the payload size.

Hope this helps 🧑‍💻
