Storage and Sharing Reports

Overview

From the OneDrive website, end users can generate storage and sharing reports on their own content. Storage reports are helpful for understanding what content you have, where it lives, and how much space it takes up. Sharing reports are helpful for understand what content you're sharing, how it's shared, who has access to it, etc.
