How do I check the storage usage for each space?

[Shin jeong hun]

Hello,
I am Henry, and I am using the Standard model. I can view the total data usage for the Standard model, but I would like to check the usage for each specific space. Could you please let me know how to do this?
thank you

Hi @Shin jeong hun ,

Currently, Jira Cloud does not natively support viewing storage usage broken down by project. The admin hub only shows the total aggregate usage (250GB for Standard).

This is a long-standing feature request. You can track or vote for it here:

BTW, Since Jira’s native search cannot automatically sort by attachment size, the most effective approach is to extract the "metadata" of your attachments and process it externally.

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-search/#api-rest-api-3-search-get

• Export List: Use the Jira API to extract attachment metadata (name, size, and project) only. It is extremely fast as it does not download actual files.

• Sort & Identify: Import the list into Excel and sort by size to instantly identify the Top 100 largest files site-wide.

• Targeted Cleanup: Navigate directly to the identified projects and issues for cleanup, eliminating the need for manual guesswork.

Hi @Shin jeong hun, if you mean Confluence spaces, this exists natively. Confluence Administration, Settings, Space Reports lists every space on your site with a Storage used (MB) column, plus a Download button for the CSV. Standard has it, along with Premium and Enterprise. Give it a few minutes to build, same as the other admin hub reports.

Ollie's ticket covers Jira projects, which is a different object. Your wording says space, so Confluence is where I'd start.

Hi @Gabriela - LeanZero 

I think the users does mean Jira

As in Jira Cloud, project is now called space (for quite some time). So do think this relates to Jira.

So Atlassian made it confusing, the chosen option space doesn't auto relate to Confluence anymore!

Spaces are the old Jira projects since that rename rolled out late last year, so the Jira reading is the right one and I pointed at the wrong object.

@Ollie Guan one correction on the export route. GET /rest/api/3/search is gone. I ran it against my own site a few minutes ago and it answers 410, "The requested API has been removed. Please migrate to the /rest/api/3/search/jql API." Same job on /rest/api/3/search/jql with fields=attachment,project, and the size in bytes comes back per file. It pages on nextPageToken, there's no startAt any more, and it won't take an unbounded JQL, so anchor it with something like attachments is not EMPTY.
