## The Drive Object

The Drive object is used to return information about a local disk drive or a network share. The Drive object can return information about a drive's type of file system, free space, serial number, volume name, and more.

Note: You cannot return information about a drive's content with the Drive object. For this purpose you will have to use the Folder object.

To work with the properties of the Drive object, you will have to create an instance of the Drive object through the FileSystemObject object. First; create a FileSystemObject object and then instantiate the Drive object through the GetDrive method or the Drives property of the FileSystemObject object.

The Drive object's properties are described below:
