You can get the total size of selected files before uploading it to the designated server. This can be achieved by using the selected event. Refer to the following example to calculate the total file size.

index.jsx

import { UploaderComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
export default class App extends React.Component {
    uploadObj;
    path = {
        removeUrl: 'https://services.syncfusion.com/react/production/api/FileUploader/Remove',
        saveUrl: 'https://services.syncfusion.com/react/production/api/FileUploader/Save'
    };
    dropAreaRef;
    onCreated() {
        this.uploadObj.dropArea = this.dropAreaRef;
        this.uploadObj.dataBind();
    }
    onSelect(args) {
        let totalSize = 0;
        for (const file of args.filesData) {
            totalSize = totalSize + file.size;
        }
        const size = this.uploadObj.bytesToSize(totalSize);
        alert("Total select file's size is " + size);
    }
    render() {
        return (<div className='control-pane' ref={dropAreaEle => this.dropAreaRef = dropAreaEle}>
      <div className='control-section row uploadpreview'>
      <div className='col-lg-9'>
      <div className='upload_wrapper'>
      <div id='preview'/>
          <UploaderComponent id='fileUpload' type='file' ref={upload => { this.uploadObj = upload; }} asyncSettings={this.path} selected={this.onSelect = this.onSelect.bind(this)} created={this.onCreated = this.onCreated.bind(this)}/>
      </div>
      </div>
      </div>
    </div>);
    }
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('fileupload'));

index.tsx

import { SelectedEventArgs, UploaderComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
public uploadObj: UploaderComponent;
  public path: object = {
      removeUrl: 'https://services.syncfusion.com/react/production/api/FileUploader/Remove',

  }
  private dropAreaRef: HTMLElement;
  public onCreated(): void {
      this.uploadObj.dropArea = this.dropAreaRef;
      this.uploadObj.dataBind();
  }
  public onSelect(args: SelectedEventArgs): void {
    let totalSize: number = 0;
    for (const file of args.filesData) {
        totalSize = totalSize + file.size;
    }
    const size: string = this.uploadObj.bytesToSize(totalSize);
    alert("Total select file's size is " + size);
  }

    public render(): JSX.Element {
        return (
        <div className = 'control-pane' ref={dropAreaEle => this.dropAreaRef = dropAreaEle!}>
      <div className='control-section row uploadpreview'>
      <div className='col-lg-9'>
      <div className='upload_wrapper'>
      <div id='preview' />
          <UploaderComponent id='fileUpload' type='file' ref = {upload => {this.uploadObj = upload !}}
          asyncSettings = {this.path}
          selected={ this.onSelect=this.onSelect.bind(this)} created={this.onCreated = this.onCreated.bind(this)} />
      </div>
      </div>
      </div>
    </div>);
    }
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('fileupload'));
