Embodiments provide an amount of distributed storage by using a number of computing devices which are distributed throughout a computing environment. Each computing device can be associated with a group policy and can provide an amount of storage to the computing environment. For example, each computing device can provide a maximum amount of free space to the computing environment. The amount of storage provided by each computing device can be collected and combined to provide an amount of combined distributed space. The combined distributed space across the computing environment can be associated with each computing device as a mapped drive. The combined distributed space can be used to provide a certain level or amount of redundancy for data stored in the computing environment. The combined distributed space also provides a cost benefit by utilizing unused space of each computing device.
