OneDrive, SharePoint, Wenig Speicherplatz, You don’t have enough free space in your OneDrive how to check GPO
Or where M365 cloud technology meets on-premises GPO.
points to check:
- Check local free space of laptop
- Check if the user has hit a sharepoint OneDrive Quota online with PS in M365
- Check if there is a GPO policy that sets warning or/and block limits in GB
First we check if the laptop has space. The laptop01 from user01 has 65GB free. His local OneDrive Cache is 14GB but looks fine.
So let us check what user1 from customer.ch is doing wrong or IT does wrong.
Let us check some things M365 tenant side. Try to connect and if not install some module.
Connect-SPOService -Url "https://customer-admin.sharepoint.com"
Error:

Let us get an overview so we don’t have 2000 sites there and do things other don’t like, just how big the Sharepoint setup is

This all looks normal the user has a StorageUsageCurrent 29 and StorageQuota is 1048576.
So let us check the laptop the M365 user has “laptop01”

Let us check his OneDrive in his HKCU remote Registry. That means we connect with PS remote to his laptop from a management server we have access with PS. If you want to access the registry reote you would have to enable
remote-registry on the machine first. Computer Management/Computer Verwaltung, Connect to other computer > Service > Enable/Start Remote-Registry Server.

Does the user have many OneDrive accounts? He he using as example one business and some private or from third party company they work with?
Let us check: HKEY_USERS\$sid\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts
You wont get smarter for the Registry? Because the Business2 is UNDER the Business1 and also another times separate as Business2 same hierarchies as Business1

Looks like he is only using ========== Business1 ========== active and is in sync to his laptop. Regarding space and quota that is what we need to know.
From the M365 side everything looks normal and is NOT the source.
Let us just if the user and machine gets a policy which does anything we don’t want.

Solution > We found the cause
MinDiskSpaceLimitInMB : 40000
WarningMinDiskSpaceLimitInMB : 80000- 40,000 MB (~40 GB) = minimum disk space threshold
- 80,000 MB (~80 GB) = warning threshold
- Her laptop has only ~65 GB free
- Therefore OneDrive sees 65 GB < 80 GB warning threshold and displays “Wenig Speicherplatz auf Ihrem Gerät”.
So nothing is actually full.
The warning is being triggered by your organization’s OneDrive policy. 😉
Let us find the GPO which some guy copied over from another customer and did not check the client fleet and type before activation.
GPO side check there is a W11_CU_OneDrive (Nice done with C and U part visible in naming so we know it is a Computer and User Policy in one.
Warn users who are low on disk space
Applies to: Group Policy, Intune
This setting lets you specify a minimum amount of available disk space, and warn users when the OneDrive sync app (OneDrive.exe) downloads a file that causes them to have less than this amount. Users are prompted with options to help free up space.
Enabling this policy sets the following registry key value to a number from 0 through 10240000:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive] "WarningMinDiskSpaceLimitInMB"=dword:00000000
Computerkonfiguration >RichtlinienAusblenden > Administrative Vorlagen > OneDrive > Benutzer mit wenig Speicherplatz warnen
Good explanation in detail on MS learn so cloud-o-mania managers also understands. 😉
