Everyone gets at least 5 GB of free OneDrive storage space upon signing up for a Microsoft account. Although the default 5 GB seems very less at this age and time (it was 15 GB until a few years ago), there are several legitimate ways to get more storage for free.
Whether you have just 5 GB or 1000 GB of storage space in your OneDrive account, it’s important to check the remaining storage space from time to time to avoid running out of space suddenly.
If you’re using OneDrive in Windows 10, there are multiple ways to check how much space is left in your OneDrive account. In this guide, we will see all ways out there to check the remaining storage space in your OneDrive account.
