Free space info

[Guest]

In DriveInfo class there are two properties that return me the same value:

-AvailableFreeSpace
-TotalFreeSpace

What is the difference between them? when should i use each one?

AvailableFreeSpace takes into account user quotas (amount allotted to users,
so it's the available free space allotted to that user) while TotalFreeSpace
does not, which means TotalFreeSpace will give how much space is remaining
on the disk, even if the current user can't use that much (if quotas are
enabled).
