That's normal, and nothing's broken. The disk number on SparkBox's dashboard shows the space in SparkBox's own data folder — not your whole 4-drive pool — so it won't move just because UGREEN's file manager shows a bigger total. To see what SparkBox actually has to work with, run sudo sparkbox doctor and look near the bottom for 'Free space at MEDIAROOT' and 'Free disk at SBROOT'. If the new drive landed in its own storage pool, those two won't change — paste them here and I'll show you exactly where to point SparkBox so it starts using the new space.

I didn’t add it as a new storage pool, I added it to the current pool. Might be a ugos as the volume one is still showing the original three HDD 18 TB. But I’ll try the spark box doctor this afternoon when I get home from work.

That's the key detail — since the drive went into your existing pool, SparkBox is just waiting on UGREEN. Adding a drive to an existing pool means UGOS still has to expand the volume itself, and that runs slowly in the background (big drives can take a good while). Until UGOS's storage page shows the bigger total for volume 1, SparkBox can't see the extra space either — its data folder lives on that volume and only grows once UGOS is done. Still run sudo sparkbox doctor when you're home: the Free space at MEDIAROOT line shows what SparkBox has right now, and we'll compare once UGOS finishes.
