Get Sharepoint Folder Size

Posted on by Ctodorut

Hello all,

I'm trying to get the overall folder size of a Sharepoint Folder that has files within it. I've tried to "Get Folder Metadata" but it's returning '0' as the folder size. Maybe I'm missing something or there is another way to do this? My goal is to get the overall folder size to set conditions further down the flow. Thanks in advance.

Here are my screenshots:

Hi @Ctodorut,

The size of the folder metadata is the data size, size of folder in SharePoint all is 0.

Do you mean you want to get the number of files in the folder?

If so, you could use the List folder action to get all files and subfolder, then use length() function to get it:

Thanks for the response.

I want to get the overall folder size with every file that lives in it as well. For example, if the folder contains 3 files at 5Mb's each, the overall size would be ~15Mbs.

Hi @Ctodorut,

You could refer to this Flow to count all files size, and use div() function to convert bytes to MB:

div(variables('TotalSize'),1000000)
