The files created in Google Docs do not occupy space quota in Google Drive. Some cloud storage services integrate with office apps like Google Docs. In Google Drive, only the owner of the shared files spends space quota on the files, while the sharing recipients get them for free (for 0 bytes of quota).īy contrast, in Dropbox, the shared folders do occupy space quota in both the owner’s and the sharing recipient’s accounts.ĭeleting the shared files and folders only removes access to them from the sharing recipient, but the files remain in their owner’s account. DaisyDisk includes such shared files and folders in the report,īut their displayed size is not the physical size of the files, but the used amount of space quota of the current user. Most cloud services widely support sharing of files and folders between users of the service. You can connect multiple accounts for the same cloud service simultaneously - something that is not possible using the bundled cloud app. Later, the connected cloud accounts will appear in the list of disks.
When done, you should see the corresponding success message. You will be taken to a web page of the corresponding cloud service provider, requesting you to authorize DaisyDisk to access your cloud files. Located in the dropdown section of the Scan Folder… button at the bottom of the DaisyDisk window. In order to scan your cloud account in DaisyDisk, you need to connect it first. there is no easy way to use multiple accounts on the same cloud service using the bundled app.ĭaisyDisk provides an elegant solution to the above problems by scanning the cloud storage directly, without creating a local cache of the files.the user may choose to deliberately exclude certain large files from the local syncing, which results in incomplete scan report.the local cache of the cloud files may require too much local disk space in order to be created or kept around.However, in many cases scanning the local cache of the cloud files may not be a good solution. Of course you can use DaisyDisk to scan such local folder containing the cloud files too. Many of the cloud services come with bundled desktop apps that would optionally create local copies of your cloud files in a local folder on your disk, so you can manage the files as if they were local, but the cloud app automatically keeps them in sync with the cloud storage. In this way you can get a visual breakdown of your cloud storage usage, remove large unneeded files and keep your cloud quota in healthy limits. If you use a cloud storage service, DaisyDisk is capable of scanning the contents of your storage directly in the cloud, in the same way as you scan a local disk.
