Hi Anila,
Below query will reutn you total bytes of file storage for a particular object, please repace opportunituy in below code with your object name

Use this link for more info on attachment object : https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_attachment.htm

Use this link to convert byte into GB : http://www.matisse.net/bitcalc/?input_amount=1&input_units=bytes&notation=legacy 
SELECT count(BodyLength) FROM Attachment WHERE Parent.Type='Opportunity'

Thanks,
Fahad Akhtar

Anila,

Use bodyLenghth keyword to get the size of attachment.
  
select Id, Name, parentID, Description, bodyLength, LastModifiedDate from Attachment WHERE ParentId = :customObjectId

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Prabhat & Fahad. I believe there is no OOB way to find that out except querying it. Correct?

That’s my understanding as well, if you have more than 50K attachments for your object, you can alternatively use data loader to export attachment records to excel, sum total body length and convert it to GB

SELECT count(BodyLength) FROM Attachment WHERE Parent.Type='Opportunity' would return the number of attachments per object.
In order to get the total size of the attachments per object
SELECT sum(BodyLength) FROM Attachment WHERE Parent.Type='Opportunity'
