AvailableSpace property

  • Article

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

Syntax

object.AvailableSpace

The object is always a Drive object.

Remarks

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

The following code illustrates the use of the AvailableSpace property.

Sub ShowAvailableSpace(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 & "Available Space: " & FormatNumber(d.AvailableSpace/1024, 0) 
    s = s & " Kbytes"
    MsgBox s
End Sub
