Why does my brand new 2TB My Book Live appear to only have 74.8 GB of space?

Why does my brand new 2TB My Book Live appear to only have 74.8 GB of space ? (of which 30.7 GB is already used!)

74.8 - 30.7 = 30.7 ??? Err… Yes my Math is obviously not so good… But the point remains! 

Any help appreciated.

Judging by your image, you connected to it via WD 2go.   That behavior is normal when using WD 2go.

Thank you Tony

Can I expect the drive to gradually show more and more space?

No.  If you notice, the space used and Free Space is exactly the same as your C: drive.

That’s just the way Microsoft displays it.

In reality, the full 2TB is available to you, it’s just not possible to know how full it is when using WD 2go.
