View total size of an S3 bucket - aws cli

Question

I'd like to view the total size of a bucket from the cli. Is there a command for it?

Answer 1

You can use the below command in the CLI to get all the details about a bucket which also includes the buckets total size. This is the easiest way to do this.

$ aws s3 ls s3://bucketname/foldername --summarize --human-readable --recursive

So this will list the information about the bucket you have mentioned. If you want to check for a particular folder, then provide the folder name.

--human-readable -- This will give the details is easy reable format
