Size Discrepancy Between /drives & /root Endpoints
To preface this post, please view the below link.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1257868/microsoft-onedrive-drive-size-is-different-in-driv
When retrieving the total size of a drive via the /drives endpoint - one gets a response as follows.
{
"deleted": 3143,
"remaining": 212025579370,
"state": "normal",
"total": 1099511627776,
"used": 887486045263
}
When retrieving the same drive via its /drives/{id}/root endpoint - it returns the following metric.
"size": 75217259136
The 'used' metric matches the Microsoft Admin Center OneDrive usage panel. The 'size' metric matches the actual downloaded size of the drive.
What is the cause for a discrepancy of 800 GB? A response to the other post details, "The difference between the two values is the additional space used by the system." Could I have some specifics of where I could acquire this system data (or at the very least view some metadata for it)?
Thanks!
