Measure data usage per hotspot, on computer

I had this question after viewing Measure and control tethering schedule.

I have a Windows 10 surface pro 4.  I have one hotspot that is my tethering connection.  It is important that I keep a close eye and be informed each day of the data that has been used by that particular hotspot.

Ideally, I would also like to be able to schedule it to turn off automatically at the end of each work day until it is manually reconnected.

How might I do this in Windows 10?

Looking at the link and seeing what provider you have... one way outside of what you're asking is simply to look on the AT&T site.

Now, as for looking within Windows 10, the best way for you would be to go into Settings, Network & Internet, then Data Usage.  There is another method via Task Manager as well, but the method I've mentioned will actually let you get the most complete picture.

Ok, getting a handle on it.  Thank you for that.

Clearly google drive sync is the main culprit and I don't see a way to disallow it from using my mifi hotspot?
