Overview of the Feature Request

We need a use case to get the total space consumed by the files of a particular dataset version.

This use case will allow the SPA to know the total space consumed by the files when the user selects "select all" in the files tab, without needing to retrieve all the files (without pagination, could be an expensive operation) and apply client side logic to calculate the size.

The use case may be useful for other scenarios where the total file size may be useful, for example, metrics-related applications.

We need to explore the Dataverse API to determine if an endpoint exists to support the new use case or if it needs to be created (Create API spike issue in such case).
