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

Function ShowFreeSpace(drvPath)
  Dim fso, d, s
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Set d = fso.GetDrive(fso.GetDriveName(drvPath))
  s = "Drive " & UCase(drvPath) & " - " 
  s = s & d.VolumeName  & "<BR>"
  s = s & "Free Space: " & FormatNumber(d.FreeSpace/1024, 0) 
  s = s & " Kbytes"
  ShowFreeSpace = s
End Function
