Microsoft Enterprise Search conducted a survey in 2012 asking compiling statistics from 100 different data sources spread across tens of millions of searchable items, to answer this question. What is the average size of a typical office document. I could not find a more recent analysis.
Here are the results:
- The average size of an office document is 3210 kB * 10 for year 2020.
- Most web content is smaller than 2000kB * 10 for year 2020.
- PowerPoint (4442kb) and PDF (3625kb) consume the most space
- Word documents are most frequent

Here's some SAN disk sizing if you have some data to back-up. For example you know that:
- 306 GB for 1 million documents
- 2.98 TB for 10 million documents
- 5.96 TB for 20 million docs
- 8.94 TB for 30 M docs
- 14.9 TB for 50 M docs.
reduce/divide by 10 for 2020.
I have made request to both Bing and Google for an update. Can anyone can help?
