[How to limit disk space of the pool on one specific drive]

@praveen johri I think the solution offered by @Jaga is perhaps the easiest and best method. I don't think DrivePool has the ability to limit drive usage on a per drive basis. The only DrivePool limit settings I am aware of are limits set for the entire pool. If you split a physical drive into 2 partitions, then you would have total control over how much disk space you want to set aside for your non-DrivePool use.

Thanks gtaus. I have a drive which is 90% full and other drives in the pool are not that full. In order to implement this solution I first would have to free up space on drive by moving the pool data to other drives in pool, how do i do that? and once this is done I need to partition the drive and allocate the partition I want into the pool. what I am not clear is steps I need to take in relation to drive pool to achieve the above.

[CloudDrive using too much space in the cloud - problem]

I have the similar problem 1TB onedrive for business account with cloud drive set up for 800GB size. There has been deletions and additions to the drive and now the clouddrive shows 750gb populated and 50gb free space but the onedrive admin view shows that full 1TB has been utilized, there is nothing in primary or secondary recycle bin on onedrive to delete. It simply shows that clouddrive folder is occupying 1TB to storage. I have an issue now, I can't delete anything on the ondrive since nothing is available to delete, drive is maxed out so it is rejecting the API calls from cloud drive and my drive shows 50gb space. I have also raised a support request with stablebit but no info yet.
