Help: Size of file was increased after upload versus to Document library

Hi all,

I have below trouble & looking forward to find out the solution.

[Pre-condition]
+ I created SPO Classic Team site
+ I want to upload my folder versus to Document library
+ In my PC, my folder structure like as the sample below


Parent Folder

|___Child Folder 01

|
|___file11.pdf - about 9.5 MB
|___file12.pdf - about 10 MB
|___file13.pdf - about 11 MB

 

|___Child Folder 02

|
|___file21.pdf - about 4 MB
|___file22.pdf - about 5 MB
|___file23.pdf - about 20 MB

 

[Actually]

+ After upload was done, I got the below result in SPO document library.
The file size of Child Folder 01 folder is increased, while Child Folder 02 is unchanged.

 

Parent Folder
|___Child Folder 01

|
|___file11.pdf - about 20 MB
|___file12.pdf - about 20 MB
|___file13.pdf - about 20 MB

 

|___Child Folder 02

|
|___file21.pdf - about 4 MB
|___file22.pdf - about 5 MB
|___file23.pdf - about 20 MB

 

[Question]
What is the cause of this problem? is there any way to fix it?

 

Thank you & looking forward to your support.

  • Hello!
    How many times did you upload the Child folder 01? Do you have versioning enabled? How are you calculating the size of the folder?

      Thank Andres Gorzelany for your replied.
      I just checked in the history version management, there is only version 1.0 is available.
      I checked the file size in the details information of the file.
      • I understand, I was able to repro if I upload the file multiple times, that's why I asked.
        What if you download the files in Folder 01, what's the size again on file system?
