Hi,

is there a way in Windows 10 for setting up an alert for low disk space  and sending it by e-mail?

Thx.

You can configure a Data Collector Set Alert in Performance Monitor to monitor disk space - LogicalDisk - Free Megabytes. Then configure an alert task in Task Scheduler:

If you have a local smtp server, you could write a powershell script to monitor the free disk space and go to sleep or email an alert if a threshold was met.

you could use an event trigger for ID 2013 (at least thats the even on Windows server).
This article contains examples on how to do it:
Event ID 2013 (Disk Is At Or Near Capacity) not getting logged
