file size
Digital document magnitude
File size is the amount of digital storage space a file occupies, typically measured in bytes or multiples thereof (kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes).
Larger files take longer to transfer, download, or upload, and consume more storage capacity.
The file size was too large to send as an email attachment.
File sizes vary enormously depending on content type—a simple text document might be a few kilobytes while a high-definition video could be several gigabytes.
