External Drive using storage spaces does not work on my new Win 10 PC?

Hi Leo,

Storage Spaces not only increase storage over time as you add drivers to your PC, it will also help you in protecting your data from drive failures. To isolate your concern, we'd like to know if you were getting any error messages when trying
to connect the external drive to your new PC. Also, can you tell us what troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

In the meantime, we suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to perform a diagnostic process on your system that will check and fix issues related to Storage Spaces. To do this, please follow the steps below:

• Type troubleshooting in the Search bar, then press
  Enter.
  
• Click View all from the left pane.
  
• Locate and click Hardware and Devices to run the troubleshooter then follow the next steps.
  

Furthermore, here is a link for more information about the Storage
Spaces in Windows 10.

We'll be looking forward to your response.

Storage issue on new PC

Just bought a new PC 8Gb RAM 128Gb Storage. I've done nothing but switch it on, connect to MS365 and download Dropbox and I'm getting messages saying there is no storage left.

I've tried finding files/programmes to delete and there's nothing showing. What should I do?
