First day there is plenty of free storage space, next day someone used up all free space.

Is there an efficient way to find out which directory has an increased storage use?

I know how to find new files using find . -mtime -2, also how to get disk usage using du, but I need the combination of them both, eg find big new files or heavily grown directories

The closest I think you can get is by using the -size parameter to find. Otherwise, you would need to have a report of usage from yesterday to compare the current state to.

big new files

You can use the find -size directive along wiht your -mtime to find these.

heavily grown directories

This will be impossible without historical data to compare with.
