Purpose

Return the amount of available space on a disk, in bytes.

Syntax

bytes&& = DISKFREE(drive$)

Remarks

drive$ specifies the drive letter or UNC share name (subject to operating system restrictions) of the disk to examine. If drive$ is an empty string, information on the default drive is returned.

Restrictions

With Windows 95 versions before OSR2, and Windows NT versions before 4.0, DISKFREE may return a negative or inaccurate value for drives larger than 2 GB.
