Tails

I can see my available disk space if I click on File/Properties on any window of Nautilus (File Manager)
Is not appearing on the ‘Status bar’ on the Browser like it does, for example, on Ubuntu.
Not sure if it will mean overhead for the USB I/O though.

Is this explained in the Nautilus documentation? If yes, then I think we can close this bug.

It does not show the total available space on the persistence and how much is being used. This could be displayed more clearly in Nautilus, for inexperienced users. There’s been overloading the persistence disk, the system does not identify when it is full.

Our nautilus doc is minimal: https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/introduction_to_gnome_and_the_tails_desktop#index4h1

We could add how to see available space.

FWIW, as usual I’d rather not see us maintain a fork of the upstream doc. This is not a Tails-specific topic.

Well, it think is a bit Tails specific, because in nautilus in Ubuntu for example you can have this information in the bar at the bottom of the window (status bar?) when you select files (it tellls you for example ‘6M selected, 3Gb disk space available’)

I don’t know if it is because of nautilus configuration or because of the filesystem, but I never had to open the window in Debian or Ubuntu to see the available diskspace.
