It's not very useful, the DUA scanning process is really slow.

The file navigator should show all units free space directly, like in Windows.
Using the command line is not usable for most users and using other apps isn't the solution.

You can look for the properties of each unit individually, but for example there is no easy way to see at a glance in which unit can I save a big file, but using GParted or others.

Ubuntu still has some things to improve to be comparable in usability.

Might be nice to mention this is actually the baobab program and can be started as such from the command line.

Cheers

Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for, and very helpful as a recently switched Windows user.
