Keeping an eye on your storage space is important, especially when you have a large amount of data and files that need to be stored. With OneDrive, users can keep their data safe and secure with the cloud service, but it’s important to know how much storage space you have available. So if you use Office 365 and have OneDrive, here is a guide on how to check your OneDrive storage.
Step 1 – Log In To Your Account
The first thing you need to do is log in to your Microsoft Office 365 account. You should be taken directly to the home page for your account after logging in. If not, click on the “Office 365” tab at the top left of the screen. This will take you back to the home page.
Step 2 – Click On The “OneDrive” Tab
Once you’re at the home page for Office 365, look for the “OneDrive” tab and click on it. This will take you to a new page where all your files are stored in OneDrive. At the top right-hand side of this page there should be some information about your total storage usage and any other additional storage packages available. It should also give you an indication of how much free space is left on your account.
Step 3 – View Quota Usage Details
If you want more detailed information about your OneDrive storage then click on the “Quota Usage Details” link at the bottom of this page. This will take you to another page where you can see more precise details about what type of files are taking up most of your storage space and how much free space is remaining in each category (documents, videos, audio files etc).
Step 4 – Free Up Some Space
If after looking at these details you realize that you need some extra storage space then there are a couple of things that can help free up some space quickly. Firstly, try deleting any unnecessary or redundant files that don’t need storing anymore as this can make quite a difference over time. Secondly, look into buying additional storage from Microsoft if needed as they offer various packages depending on how much extra space is required.
Checking your OneDrive storage is easy when using Office 365 and requires just four simple steps; log in to your account, click on the “onedrive” tab, view quota usage details and free up some space if necessary by deleting unnecessary files or buying additional storage from Microsoft if needed. By following these steps regularly it will allow users to keep track of their OneDrive storage easily so they never run out of room again!
