Mostly we require to calculate for uploaded directory size because we can see how much we size allocate in uploaded directory. If you have limited server then you always need to check how much size of data in my folder.

you can also use in laravel 6, laravel 7, laravel 8, laravel 9, laravel 10 and laravel 11 application.

You can also get size of directory that way you can also display on your admin panel. Laravel provide File facade. File facade through we can get folder size in kb or mb or gb etc.

In bellow example i have images directory in public folder. so we can get size for images folder like this way :

Example:

<?php
   
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use File;
  
class ItemController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $size = $this->getFolderSize(public_path('images'));
  
        dd($size);
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function getFolderSize($path)
    {
        $fileSize = 0;
  
        foreach( File::allFiles($path) as $file){
            $fileSize += $file->getSize();
        }
  
        return number_format($fileSize / 1048576,2);
    }
}

I hope it cab help you...
