Azure Storage container size

Question

How can I get a size of container in Azure Storage? I access Azure storage via C# API:

var account = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettin         


        

Answer 1

CloudStorageAccount cloudStorageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AzureStoragePrimary"]);
CloudBlobClient blobClient = account.CreateCloudBlobClient();
CloudBlobContainer blobContainer = blobClient.GetContainerReference("myContainer");
int fileSize = 0;
foreach (var blobItem in blobContainer.ListBlobs())
{
    fileSize += blobItem.Properties.Length;
} 

fileSize contains the size of container, i.e. total size of blobs (files) contained.
