Content Analysis and storage space

Is there a way to see what’s eating up space in my WDMyCloud OS5 Single Bay?

Have you looked at the Dashboard?

The point is that the sum of each share is not coherent with the one of the general board. I don’t think the OS5 takes 1 TB of space.

There are various software programs one can install to analyze each share (likely one at a time) to see which files/directories are using the most space. For example WinDirStat will let a user select a Share (as a “folder”) and scan it.

Or one could could access their My Cloud using SSH and use Linux commands to list folder or share capacities. For example using commands like:

df -h
du -BM -d 1

One may have to go Share by Share. Do an internet search (or a OS5 subforum search) to see if anyone has alternate methods using SSH to list the Share capacity/capacity usage. For example:
