Overview
This filter allows you to filter content based on its size. You can filter all files greater than or less than a specified size. You can also use a combination of both. Note that the size is in bytes.
Filter Using REST API
Files can be filtered by their size via the filter_size filter type. The filter accepts three attributes: min, max, and type. The min and max attributes are both optional, but at least one must be defined. Define both attribute values to define a range of file sizes.
Attributes
Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| The minimum file size in bytes. Files with a size less than this value match the filter. |
| The maximum file size in bytes. Files with a size greater than this value match the filter. |
|
|
Example
The example below excludes any file over 1024 bytes in size transferred to the destination.
