Last Updated:Apr 02, 2024

The du command queries the total size of all objects within a bucket or directory.

Usage notes

  • To query the total size of all current object versions within a bucket or directory, you must have the oss:ListObjects, oss:ListParts, and oss:ListMultipartUploads permissions. To query the total size of all object versions within a bucket or directory, you must have the oss:ListObjectVersions, oss:ListParts, and oss:ListMultipartUploads permissions. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

  • This topic provides sample command lines that are based on the 64-bit Linux system. For other systems, replace ./ossutil64 in the commands with the corresponding binary name. For more information, see ossutil command reference.

Common options

If you use ossutil to switch to a bucket that is located in another region, add the -e option to the command to specify the endpoint of the region in which the specified bucket is located. If you use ossutil to switch to a bucket that belongs to another Alibaba Cloud account, you can add the -i option to the command to specify the AccessKey ID of the specified account, and add the -k option to the command to specify the AccessKey secret of the specified account.

For example, you can run the following command to query the total size of all versions of objects in a bucket named testbucket, which is located in the China (Shanghai) region and owned by another Alibaba Cloud account:

./ossutil64 du oss://testbucket --all-versions -e oss-cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com -i LTAI4Fw2NbDUCV8zYUzA****  -k 67DLVBkH7EamOjy2W5RVAHUY9H****
