SharePoint 2013: Get File Size of List Attachments

Sometimes you just want to know how big are your attachments within a SharePoint list? Here you get a simple PowerShell Script to get these information

$file.Length

Sample list called “MySampleList” and as you can see there are more than one attachments added to file “Mein File 1”

Use the following code:

[sourcecode language=”powershell”]

#Version 1.0

$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity http://isv82/sites/ddv/
$list = $web.Lists[“MySampleList”]
foreach ($item in $list.Items)
{
$attachmentCollection = $item.Attachments
$folder = $web.GetFolder($attachmentCollection.UrlPrefix);
foreach ($file in $folder.Files)
{
Write-Host $item.Title
Write-Host $file.Name
Write-Host $file.Length
}
}

[/sourcecode]

Within the output you will get the File Size:
