Purpose
If you are trying to identify where the majority of your attachments are located by space, this can be helpful when trying to audit attachments to reduce the size of a space export or even a backup with attachments.
Solution
Run SQL query on the Confluence database:
select sum(cp.LONGVAL), s.spacename from spaces s INNER JOIN
content c ON c.spaceid = s.spaceid INNER JOIN contentproperties cp
ON cp.contentid = c.contentid where c.contenttype = 'ATTACHMENT' and
cp.propertyname = 'FILESIZE' GROUP BY s.spacename;The number returned is in bytes.
