How to identify storage size in Confluence Cloud using the Space Reports feature
Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian apps on the cloud platform.
Summary
As a Confluence admin, managing your spaces efficiently is crucial. With the new Space Reports feature, you can easily view all your site's spaces and key details, such as the storage each space uses. This guide will help you walk through how to access and use this feature to identify the storage size for spaces in Confluence cloud.
Solution
What is the Space Reports Feature?
Using the Space Reports feature, you can download a CSV file listing all spaces on your site. This CSV includes essential details such as:
Space Id
Space Key
Space Name
Space Type (global/personal)
Space Status (current/archived/deleted)
Creation Date
Creator Account Id
Creator Full Name
Public Link Permission (on/off)
Public Link Count
Anonymous Access Status (on/off)
Last Activity
Content Count (number of active content items)
Attachments (number of files)
Storage used (MB)
How to Use the Space Reports Feature?
Navigate to Confluence Administration > Settings
Select Space Reports from the navigation bar to access the Space Reports Page
Select the Create Reports button located in the top right corner of the page
Select Download to get your CSV file
Verify your report
After downloading the CSV, confirm the data looks correct:
Open the CSV and check that the Storage used (MB) column contains values (not all zeros or blanks).
Cross-reference the total against your site storage dashboard: go to admin.atlassian.com > select your site > Site settings > Storage and compare the Confluence storage total to the sum of your CSV's "Storage used (MB)" column.
If the numbers differ significantly, the report may still be generating — wait a few minutes and download again. Small differences are normal due to timing.
