Hello All
First post so please be kind :)
I have a very specific request from my ELT. I have a quickly growing SharePoint and I need to know what sites are growing fastest. A specific query might be: "What sites have grown the fastest (in GB) over the last 6 months?" I have been digging for a few days now and I am not seeing anything that quite gives me what I need.
Word of warning. I am Self-taught and though I have been in the industry for over 20 years, some of the jargon can be confusing to me.

Thanks in advance

Bill

    Hi @William Tomsha ,

    Welcome to the Q&A Forum!

    According to your requirement description, you want to have a dynamic retrospective report on the storage of each site. Unfortunately, as far as I know, SharePoint does not have out-of-the-box monitoring dashboards or other ways to count the data you need, so I think you need to spend energy on finding the right three-party tool dashboard.

    In addition, what we can do is to use PowerShell to export csv files to create storage analysis reports for the site, but it needs to be manually executed and recorded on a regular basis, and the previous site storage situation cannot be viewed.

    Since I don't know the SharePoint version you are using, take SharePoint Online as an example, you can refer to this article: Get Site Collection Storage Size – Quota Usage Report using PowerShell.
