Finding the total data a macbook has used in its lifetime

Hi Guys,


Just wanted to know if its possible to find out the total data usage of a macbook in its entire lifetime, not from the time it was last switched off.


I am sure there will be a way to find the same.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

If you are referring to the storage on your Mac, then there is a way to view every file since the beginning.

  1. Open the System Information application.
  2. Select "Window" on the menu bar.
  3. Select "Storage Management".
  4. A window with every file on your Mac will appear.
