    Hi Yue Ma - Thanks for reaching out over Q&A Forum.

    Below are some of the options to explore:

    1. Leverage Directory Statistics option in Azure Storage Explorer after navigating to the File share for which you want to check the stats.
    2. Navigate through all the files present inside the file shares via a Powershell script and calculate the size of the file shares used capacity.

    Both of these options shall however provide you with in time capacity utilization. You can schedule your script to calculate this on regular basis and shall help you achieving the goal of calculating utilization over a period of time.

    Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.
