Share size when mapped in Windows

[mushtafa]

Super noob at this still.

 

I have created a few shares, but they are different sizes when mapped in Windows.

 

For example, appdata folder is showing the full size of the array. I created a Plex Movie folder to copy my movies to, but Windows is only showing it at 107GB in size.

I had the 'use cache' set to yes, but has made no difference when switching this to off.

 

I can't find any settings that are different between the two shares. 

 

Googling has found much.

 

Thanks

I removed the share and created a new one, and it's now displaying the correct volume size. 

 

Not sure what I did wrong to begin with.

Me either but the original question seems a bit confused.

What does your appdata folder have to do with the size of a plex movie folder? These should be completely different ideas.

Purely to show that a default system created share shows the correct size. Whereas the one I made isn't.
