Hi @MS Techie ,

Thank you for the ask. Limit for storage account is 5 PiB (you can increase the limit by contacting Azure Support). Please check the link below for details.

for overall Capacity, you can either go the Storage Browser or Metrics from the LeftPanel
or you can go to the LeftPanel --> Containers --> click the specific container --> properties --> calculate size. Bingo! :)

Hope this helps! Thank you!

Hi @MS Techie ,

In this case, you can try Powershell or C# code. Please checkout the links below. Thank you!

I don't have the option to calculate the size either, I wonder if Azure got rid of the option. If they did that is really annoying as I am trying to get a rough idea of what folder is using up so much space.

The size information has been removed from the container properties card now. Is there any other way to check size if a container in azure portal?
