I believe that with the MeioUpload behavior - if you have a field in your database table where you are saving the file information called 'filesize' it will automatically save the file size in that field.

Did you try doing that? Then you can use the NumberHelper->toReadableSize() to turn that number into an easier to read number (in KB, MB, GB, TB for example).
