Free/Availble Free Disk space - How?

Free/Availble Free Disk space - How?

Free/Availble Free Disk space - How?

RE: Free/Availble Free Disk space - How?

You need to actually get a drive to be able to examine its properties.

That's essentially what the error message is saying - that it needs an object (a drive object) to be able to execute the method

So, the following should work:

CODE --> 

Dim oDI As DriveInfo
oDI = DriveInfo.GetDrives(0) ' first drive
MsgBox("Drive: " & oDI.Name & " Available Free space: " & oDI.AvailableFreeSpace)

Thank you, StrongM!

Ilya
