2 years ago Are you looking at the size of a .twbx / tdsx? Those are compressed. You could try extracting the .hyper file and comparing that size to what TS Content says.

Sometimes the number reported by TS Content is much higher than the size of a data source when downloaded from the server to my local hard drive.
At first, I thought that it might be due to versioning: multiple historical copies of the item stored on the server. However, even after deleting all of history, or checking a newly published extract, the size was still not matching.
What is the size field measuring for TS Content Items? I can't seem to figure out how it correlates to actual file sizes. This is against v2.02 of TS Content, and v2021.1 of Tableau Server.
