# How do I Check my File Size?

## Sometimes a submission will receive an error when the file size is too large. This article to teach you how to check the size of your assignment submission file.

Whether you are a PC or Mac fan, fear not; we have the scoop for you. 

➡️To identify the size of your file, locate the file in your File Explorer (PC) or Finder (Mac).

From this view, the file size might already be displayed. 

### If the size of the file is **NOT** available, you have two options:

### **View Settings**

➡️Right-click on the file name

➡️ Properties (PC) or Get Info (Mac)

A new window will pop up where you can locate the size of the file.

➡️Right-click in the header of the file window.

➡️Select **size** from the list of display options
