To check your OneDrive storage space, start by opening OneDrive on your computer or mobile device. You can also access OneDrive through the Microsoft website.

OneDrive will automatically display your available storage space, which is currently 5 GB for free users. This is the amount of space you have left to store your files.

If you need to check your storage usage report, click on the "View storage usage" button in OneDrive. This will show you a breakdown of how much space each of your files and folders is taking up.

You can also use the OneDrive mobile app to check your storage space and usage report on the go. This is especially useful if you're a heavy user of OneDrive and want to keep an eye on your storage levels at all times.
