    The GetSpaceUsageAsync method gives you a SpaceUsage object, which has Used (the amount of space used) and Allocation (the total storage quota) properties for the user.

     

    So, you can do something like this (depending on account type):

     

    var space = await this.client.Users.GetSpaceUsageAsync ();
Console.WriteLine ("{0}/{1}", space.Used, space.Allocation.AsIndividual.Value.Allocated);
