I have scripted Free.bat to return the free space of a local or remote volume. Free.bat uses standard commands.

The syntax for using Free.bat is:

call Free LOCALorREMOTE_DRIVE FreeSpace \[Units\]

Where:

LOCALorREMOTE_DRIVE is the local or remote drive, like C: or D: or X: or \\ComputerName\C$.

FreeSpace           is a call directed environment variable that will contain the number of free space Units.

Units               is an optional parameter that contains KB, MB, or GB. The default is bytes.

NOTE: See the following bytes per unit:

KB (kilobyte) = 1,024 bytes
MB (megabyte) = 1,048,576 bytes
GB (gigabyte) = 1,073,741,824 bytes
TB (terabyte) = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
PB (petabyte) = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
EB (exabyte)  = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes

When using units, FreeSpace is rounded to the nearest whole number.

NOTE: FreeSpace is NOT a arithmetic environment variable. If you know that the number does NOT exceed 32 bits of precision, you can make it arithmetic using:

if "%FreeSpace%" EQU "0" (
 set /a FreeSpace=0
 ) ELSE (
 set /a FreeSpace=%FreeSpace%
)

Free.bat contains:

@echo off
setlocal
if \{%2\}
\{\} goto :ERR
for /f "tokens=1-3*" %%a in ('dir %1 /-c^|findstr /i /C:"bytes free"') do set FreeSpace=%%c

)
if "%Remain:~0,1%" LSS "5" goto end 
for /f "Tokens=*" %%a in ('cscript //nologo %work% %FreeSpace%+1') do (
 set xx=%%a
)
set FreeSpace=%xx%
:end
del /q %work%
:finish
endlocal&set %2=%FreeSpace%
