extension URL {
    /// check if the URL is a directory and if it is reachable 
    func isDirectoryAndReachable() throws -> Bool {
        guard try resourceValues(forKeys: [.isDirectoryKey]).isDirectory == true else {

        URL.byteCountFormatter.countStyle = .file
        guard let byteCount = URL.byteCountFormatter.string(for: size) else { return nil}
        return byteCount + " on disk"
    }
    private static let byteCountFormatter = ByteCountFormatter()
}

usage:

do {
    let documentDirectory = try FileManager.default.url(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: nil, create: false)
    if let sizeOnDisk = try documentDirectory.sizeOnDisk() {
        print("Size:", sizeOnDisk) // Size: 3.15 GB on disk
    }
} catch {
    print(error)
}

Get file size in Swift

Use attributesOfItemAtPath instead of attributesOfFileSystemForPath
+ call .fileSize() on your attr.

var filePath: NSString = "your path here"
var fileSize : UInt64
var attr:NSDictionary? = NSFileManager.defaultManager().attributesOfItemAtPath(filePath, error: nil)
if let _attr = attr {
    fileSize = _attr.fileSize();
}

In Swift 2.0, we use do try catch pattern, like this:

let filePath = "your path here"
var fileSize : UInt64 = 0

do {
    let attr : NSDictionary? = try NSFileManager.defaultManager().attributesOfItemAtPath(filePath)

    if let _attr = attr {
        fileSize = _attr.fileSize();
    }
} catch {
    print("Error: \(error)")
}

In Swift 3.x/4.0:

let filePath = "your path here"
var fileSize : UInt64

do {
    //return [FileAttributeKey : Any]
    let attr = try FileManager.default.attributesOfItem(atPath: filePath)
    fileSize = attr[FileAttributeKey.size] as! UInt64

    //if you convert to NSDictionary, you can get file size old way as well.
    let dict = attr as NSDictionary
    fileSize = dict.fileSize()
} catch {
    print("Error: \(error)")
}

How to get Total/Available/Used space of a USB drive in MacOS - Swift?

You can use FileManager's mountedVolumeURLs method to get all mounted volumes and get the volumeAvailableCapacityForImportantUsage resource key/value from it:

---

extension FileManager {
    static var mountedVolumes: [URL] {
        (FileManager.default.mountedVolumeURLs(includingResourceValuesForKeys: nil) ?? []).filter({$0.path.hasPrefix("/Volumes/")})
    }
}

---

extension URL {
    var volumeTotalCapacity: Int? {
        (try? resourceValues(forKeys: [.volumeTotalCapacityKey]))?.volumeTotalCapacity
    }
    var volumeAvailableCapacityForImportantUsage: Int64? {
        (try? resourceValues(forKeys: [.volumeAvailableCapacityForImportantUsageKey]))?.volumeAvailableCapacityForImportantUsage
    }
    var name: String? {
        (try? resourceValues(forKeys: [.nameKey]))?.name
    }
    
}

---

Usage:

for url in FileManager.mountedVolumes {
    print(url.name ?? "Untitled")
    print("Capacity:", url.volumeTotalCapacity ?? "nil")
    print("Available:", url.volumeAvailableCapacityForImportantUsage ?? "nil")
    print("Used:", (try? url.sizeOnDisk()) ?? "nil") // check the other link below
}

For a 16GB USB drive with BigSur installer the code above will print

To get the used space of a volume "sizeOnDisk" you can check this post

How to get Size and free space of a directory in cocoa?

You can calculate the size of a directory using this particular method, the fastest, using Carbon, instead of NSEnumerator :
here

To calculate free space, you could use that method. Make sure you enter the full path of the volume :

NSDictionary* fileAttributes = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileSystemAttributesAtPath:folder];

unsigned long long size = [[fileAttributes objectForKey:NSFileSystemFreeSize] longLongValue];

Where size is what you're looking for.

How do you find how much disk space is left in Cocoa?

Use -[NSFileManager attributesOfFileSystemForPath:error:]
