When configuring Azure File Sync cloud tiering, evaluate the volume free space percentage and the date policy 'number of days' based on the usage of the Azure File Sync server. For example, if you expect the last 7 days of recent data to be cached on the server, you may set the date policy to 7 days and ensure that the total volume size and current free space on the volume allow for the last 7 days of churn (new content and recalls due to access to some already tiered content to get cached upon recall). Assuming the volume size is 100 GiB and the last 7 days of churn is ~10 GiB, your volume must allow the latest 10 GiB to be cached and tier the remaining data to cloud. A volume free space of 20% would be fair in this case, as Azure File Sync will try to keep 20% (i.e., 20 GiB free space), which allows for 10 GiB of new content over 7 days and provides some extra room for file system overhead and occasional excess data to also be cached.

Setting a very high volume free space can significantly reduce the amount of data kept locally on the server. This would mean you expect almost all the files to be tiered. If the local cache contains only a small percentage of the working dataset, users may experience more frequent recalls from Azure. This can increase access latency and may result in additional transaction and data transfer costs for Azure Files.

Because the volume free space policy takes precedence over the date policy, Azure File Sync will tier files as needed to reach the configured free space target, regardless of when those files were accessed recently. Similarly, configuring a small day count for date policy threshold may cause files to be tiered shortly after they become inactive even if volume free space policy does not force excess tiering.
