Agreed, File Server Resource Manager.<br />

You can also enable quotas but NOT enforcement so you can see who's using how much space at a glance.

Hi, I have a file server running on Windows 2k8 R2 that holds all files, including user profiles, documents,etc. There is no quota on how much space users can take(not my policy) and lately, drive space disappears at an alarming rate. Are there any free tools out there to monitor who's adding what to the file shares?<br />

Thank you!

Monitoring shares

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, distributed peer-to-peer networking (P2P) and cloud-based file syncing.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
