 DataTable oDtRawData = null;

 // this line of code will return the stroage information of all the document lirbaries in this site
 oDtRawData = oSite.StorageManagementInformation(SPSite.StorageManagementInformationType.DocumentLibrary,SPSite.StorageManagementSortOrder.Increasing, SPSite.StorageManagementSortedOn.Size,100);

 // this line of code will return the stroage information of all the lists in this site
 oDtRawData = oSite.StorageManagementInformation(SPSite.StorageManagementInformationType.List, SPSite.StorageManagementSortOrder.Increasing, SPSite.StorageManagementSortedOn.Size, 100);

 // this line of code will return the stroage information of all the Documents in this site
 oDtRawData = oSite.StorageManagementInformation(SPSite.StorageManagementInformationType.Document, SPSite.StorageManagementSortOrder.Increasing, SPSite.StorageManagementSortedOn.Size, 100);

 // if you wan to see column names, loop through all the columns and find out the names and grab the needed one. 
 foreach (DataColumn oColumn in oDtRawData.Columns)
   {
            Console.WriteLine(oColumn.ColumnName);                
   }
 Console.ReadLine();

  foreach (DataRow oRow in oDtRawData.Rows)
   {
         Console.WriteLine(oRow[“Title”].ToString() + ” : “ + oRow[“Size”].ToString() + ” : “ + oRow[“LeafName”].ToString());

Answer 2

As an Site Owner (and not a Site Collection Admin) you should be able to connect to your site using SharePoint Designer. Once connected, you can click on Site->Reports->Site Summary. This report shows All Files and the total size in KB of all files on your site.
