Find large files Linux/macOS
These are some commands to find large files on Linux/macOS. You might need GNU find for some (hence the g prefix)
Find large files, get filename
find . -type f -name IMG\*MOV -size +25M
Find large files, get filename & filesize
find . -type f -name IMG\*MOV -size +10M -print0 | gdu --files0-from=- -hc
Find large files, get filename, filesize, and date
gfind . -type f -name IMG\*MOV -size +10M -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %s %f\n'
Find large files in current dir, check if they exist elsewhere on the system. Need to get only filename without path (’./’) here.
gfind . -type f -name IMG\*MOV -size +10M -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %s %p\n ' -exec sh -c 'gfind ~/Pictures/ -name $(basename "$0")' '{}' ';'
gfind . -type f -name IMG\*HEIC -size +2M -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %s %p\n ' -exec sh -c 'gfind ~/Pictures/ -name $(basename "$0")' '{}' ';'
find . -type f -name IMG\*HEIC -size +2000k -print0
Find files, group by modification date, calculate filesize.
gfind ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %s\n'|awk '{sum[$1]+= $2;}END{for (date in sum){print date, sum[date];}}'|sort
