How can i get the total size of a specific folder in a bucket?

[dmirallestl]

We have a bucket were we are storing data related to our clients, the idea is to get the total size used by each client. I don't see any way to get that information from b2-cli, is there any other way such as API call to get this information easily?

The way to do this is something like:

b2v3 ls -r bucketName path --versions --long| awk '{total+=$5;} END{print total;}'

or

b2v3 ls -r bucketName path --versions --json|  jq -r '.[].size' | awk '{total+=$1} END {print total}'

Remove --versions if you want to see only how much space is used by most recent versions.
See https://www.backblaze.com/docs/cloud-storage-lifecycle-rules how to delete old versions automatically.
