Get Azure File share size using PowerShell-CodePudding

is there a way to use powershell to get the size of an Azure File share?

I can use the Get-AzStorageShare to pull the etag, quota, tier, etc. but I can't seem to find where to get the "usage".

I can see it in the portal so it must come from somewhere...

As of version 7.5 of Azure PowerShell, there is no Cmdlet in Az.Storage module which would give you this information directly.

However, there is a workaround.

The idea is to call Get-AzStorageShare which will give you an object of type AzureStorageFileShare. This object has a property called ShareClient which is available in Azure Storage File SDK. Once you have access to this object, you can call GetStatistics method to get the share usage.

$accountName = "your storage account name"
$accountKey = "your storage account key"
$shareName = "your share name"
$ctx = New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName $accountName -StorageAccountKey $accountKey
$share = Get-AzStorageShare -Name $shareName
$client = $share.ShareClient
# We now have access to Azure Storage SDK and we can call any method available in the SDK.
# Get statistics of the share
$stats = $client.GetStatistics()
$shareUsageInBytes = $stats.Value.ShareUsageInBytes
Write-Host $shareUsageInBytes
