Windows 10: One Drive quota vs PC storage

Do my OneDrive storage count into my my PC storage limit?


I only have 128 GB of storage on my PC so I tried saving my files onto onDrive as I have I TB of storage. But when I look up my storage it seems to count whatever I have on onedrive. Why is this?

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.

 

Incorrect display of Network Drive Quota properties

My network harddrive is a MyBookLive, 2TB, with 996GB free, NTFS. I believe this drive does NOT support quota limits.

In Win10 File Explorer, the Properties|Quota tab for any shares mapped on the MyBookLive state "This drive supports space limits for each user, so a single user cannot fill the entire disk. Click this button to view or change these limits" . But if I click
on the "View Quota Settings" button, it opens an additional Quota Settings dialog box that contains the same statement and the same button, with no other displayed information. This continues each time you click on the button.

Other external drives (USB connected) all open a legitimate dialog box for "Quotas", which correctly show that "Quotas are disabled", along with other information.

I believe this issue may be preventing me from copying large files to the network drive, because I get errors saying there is not enough space available, but the same error message shows adequate free space.

Can you help me correct this issue?

Thanks.

Incorrect display of Network Drive Quota properties

Thanks for the reply. But you are answering a different question.

I have disconnected and remapped my network drive with no change to behavior.

I am getting the error that Windows says that this network drive supports Quotas, but the manufacturer says it does not.

I am also getting the error that Windows displays a blank screen under the Quota tab instead of legitimate Quota dialog box.

Is this expected behavior?

If not, how can I correct this behavior?

Thanks.
