Today’s Quick Tip….
Q&A: How do I find out how much OneDrive storage I have left?
Question from Lacey: I have my phone set to automatically back up my photos to OneDrive.
The thing is I know I must be getting pretty close to having to pay for more storage space.
How can I check to see how much space I’m using and how much I have left?
Rick’s answer: Lacey, it’s very easy to check your OneDrive usage stats. All you have to do is visit this page (and log in if you’re asked to do so):
https://onedrive.live.com/?v=managestorage
That’s all there is to it. Once you’re on that page you’ll see the amount of OneDrive storage space you’re already using listed there along with how much unused space you have remaining.
