SharePoint folder size without versioning

Question

I'm currently working on archiving SharePoint online data to an Azure blob container using Mover.io

Storage Metrics for SharePoint advises the folder is ~186GB with 25727 assets

The Mover app registers the 25727 assets as ~64GB

Understanding the discrepancy is most likely related to document versioning as Mover doesn't preserver file versions
I wonder if there's a way to validate the folder size within SharePoint online or other interrogation tools.

Cheers

Hello M.J.Sullo,

Welcome to community forum.

As I understand you want to find a way how to display the size of SharePoint library without versioning.

If my understanding is correct then I’m afraid we can’t do it using the metric storage, because it would display the size of the files including previous versions. We apologize for inconvenience and kindly ask you to share your feedback in SharePoint · Community (microsoft.com). The SharePoint developers team collects users’ feedback and ideas through this channel.

You may achieve the required results with PowerShell script. For more details please check the following links:
