In this post, I will share a short solution on how to determine the file size on uploaded files in Laravel 8. Sometimes we need to check first the user file uploaded to our server if meets our standard size before saving it.

So here's how should do it.

First, create your post route.

Route::post('/files/add', 'FilesController@store')->name('files.store');
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then in your controller let's create a store method.

/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*
* @param  Request  $request
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request)
{
    echo $request->file->getSize();
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then that's it you will know if what is the byte size of your file and convert it to MB or KB.

I hope this tutorial can help you. Kindly visit here https://codeanddeploy.com/blog/laravel/how-to-get-file-size-on-uploaded-file-in-laravel-8 if you want to download this code.

Happy coding :)
