Bug Description

Marlin lacks a way to quickly know the free space available on a drive.
Typical use case : I want to copy music to my tablet with Marlin but I don't know how much free space my tablet haves so I have to use another file manager to do that.

I also would like to see that enhancement. Maybe the information could be placed in the context pane?

The info could be placed as right-aligned "background text" in the location bar, which could also display the file count and its total size of a selection instead of the free size of the current "folder".

Furthermore, it appears apt if hovering over an appropriate entry in the sidebar's device section were not only to display its absolute path, but also its total (if ro) resp. both used & free space (if rw).
