Hi @IAmAKnacker !

While there is no native Knack feature to calculate the total size of all files uploaded, you can use[validation rules](https://learn.knack.com/article/1isca4mrri-validation-rules) in your File field’s settings to control the size of each individual File record value as seen below in the screenshot. I’m not sure if that will be helpful for your use case at all, but I thought it would be worth sharing.
