Windows 10: Incorrect "There is not enough space" error when copying to a network location

I have 2 Windows 10 computers on a network, One has a drive shared with no quota set and 3TB of free space. I have then added this shared folder as a 'network location' under My Computer on the other. When I try to copy 83 GB of files to this network location, I get an incorrect error stating "There is not enough space" and that I "need an additional 4GB to copy theses files". If I access the folder via "\\computername\sharename" or if I map the share as a network drive, it is not a problem, only when accessed via this 'network location' link. How do I fix this?

add a network location windows 10

Hi Erich,

Adding a network place in Windows allows you to access FTP, Windows file shares, and some HTTP servers directly in My Network Places, without having to use an FTP client.
To assist you better, kindly answer the following questions:

• Are you getting any error messages when you tried adding a network location?
• Are you trying to add a network location or map a network drive?

Meanwhile, if you're adding a network location, we suggest that you follow these steps below about adding a network location:

• Open This PC in File Explorer, click on the Computer tab, click on the
  Add a network location button in the ribbon.
• Click on Next in the Add Network Location wizard.
• Click on Choose a custom network location, and click on
  Next.
• Type the address of the website, FTP site, or network location you want to add, and click on
  Next.
• If you are allowed to log on anonymously to this network location, click on
  Next.
• Type a name you want for this network location in This PC, and click on
  Next.
• If you are not allowed to log on anonymously to this network location, then uncheck the
  Log on anonymously box, enter the user name for the network location, and click on
  Next.
• Click on Finish.
• If you could not log on anonymously to this network location, you will see a
  Log On As dialog prompting you to enter the user name and password for this network location. Check the
  Save password box if you do not want to be required to type the user name and password every time you access this network location. Click on
  Log On when finished.
• The network location will now open.

If you're mapping a network, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
article on how to map a network drive.

Location incorrect in weather app and find my device

Windows 10 has several settings that control access to a device's location. They can be found under:

Settings -> Privacy -> Location

The first two settings are called Location and Location service. If either one is turned off, then Windows will NOT REVEAL your location to apps that ask.
Location is a system-wide setting, and if turned on, then
Location service controls location access for the current user only.

• Make sure that Location and Location service are both turned on.

The next setting lets you specify a Default location to be used whenever Windows cannot determine your location with any degree of accuracy or confidence. I'll come back to this setting in a moment.

This is followed by a way to Clear your location history stored on this device, as well as
some links to manage or review information concerning your location online.

After that, you should see a list of Apps. This is where you can allow or deny location access on a per-app basis.

• Make sure this setting is turned on for the "Weather App" and "Find My Device".

Please note that despite having identical names, this more general Windows 10
Default location setting does NOT work in the same way as the Default location setting in the Weather App. The Weather App will
always use its default location if one is specified. Windows 10 only uses its more general default location setting if all else fails. I have devised an experiment, which exploits that difference. I think it should be able to identify the
underlying location problem on your system.

1. Start the Weather App and select the Settings tab. Make sure that
   Launch Location is set to "Always detect my location".
   Exit the Weather App.
2. Go to the general Windows 10 Settings -> Privacy -> Location and temporarily set your
   Default Location to somewhere that's way off - wrong by thousands of miles (let's say Timbuktu in Mali).
3. Note which of the following networks are up and accessible form your Surface Pro 2017:
   
   (a) Ethernet, (b) Wi-Fi, (c) Bluetooth, (d) cell phone connectivity (via optional LTE-Advanced modem).
4. Start the Weather App again and select the Favorites tab. Make a note of the first listed favorite (the Launch Location), and exit the Weather App.
5. If it is Timbuktu (Windows hasn't got a clue where you are), then go to Step 9.
6. If it is Cape Coral (Windows THINKS it knows where you are, but it's WRONG), then go to Step 8.
7. If it is Knoxville (Windows got it right), then the
   Location Service works correctly when Windows has access to the infrastructure of the networks you noted as available in Step 3. Go to Step 8.
   
8. To reproduce the problem and perhaps isolate the cause, disable all the networks listed in Step 3. Then re-enable each of the networks ONE AT A TIME, repeating the steps from Step 3 each time. If you ever get to Step 6, then the one-and-only enabled network
   that time is the SOURCE OF YOUR PROBLEM. If you ever get to Step 7, then ADD the one-and-only enabled network that time to YOUR LIST of reliable location sources.
   
   SOLUTION A:
   
   (a) Ensre that a network on YOUR LIST of reliable location sources is up and available.
   
   (b) Whenever you require an accurate location, ensure that the network observed to be the SOURCE OF YOUR PROBLEM is neither up nor available.
   
9. Using the infrastructure of the networks you noted as available in Step 3, Windows was not able to determine your location with any degree of accuracy or confidence. Enable as many of the networks listed in Step 3 as you can. Restart the experiment at Step
   3. If you still end up here, then you MUST EITHER modify the general Windows 10
   Default location setting every time you need an accurate location OR ...
   
   SOLUTION B:
   
   Move back to Cape Coral, Florida.
   
   Phew!
