FreeSpace Property

Returns the amount of free space available to a user on the specified drive or network share. Read-only.

object.FreeSpace

The object is always a Drive object.

Remarks

The value returned by the FreeSpace property is typically the same as that returned by the AvailableSpace property. Differences may occur between the two for computer systems that support quotas.

The following code illustrates the use of the FreeSpace property:

Sub ShowFreeSpace(drvPath)
    Dim fs, d, s
    Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set d = fs.GetDrive(fs.GetDriveName(drvPath))
    s = "Drive " & UCase(drvPath) & " - " 
    s = s & d.VolumeName  & vbCrLf
    s = s & "Free Space: " & FormatNumber(d.FreeSpace/1024, 0) 
    s = s & " Kbytes"
    MsgBox s
End Sub
