Hello,
> I took a look at getting free space displayed with refreshable braille display to help Maurice and myself.
> 
> Maurice is running Windows 11 but here I report for Windows 10.
> 
> I did windows + e, then I pressed v for the first letter of my last folder videos.
> 
> I could have down-arrowed past my folders until Jaws said Devices and Settings expanded.
> 
> The next entry is the drive I want.
> 
> I down-arrowed until the drive was in focus.
> 
> The braille display shows the information desired.
> 
> The speech just says the drive name but not the disk free information.
> 
> I pressed ins + up-arrow.
> 
> Now the speech speaks the desired disk free information and the braille shows the disk free information.
> 
> On the braille display my computer reports:
> 
> WINDOWS number percent number GB free of number GB number of number
> 
> The first "number" prior to GB is the GB free and the second "number" before GB is the disk total size.
> 
> Here the "number of number" is which
> 
> list item the drive is in out of the entire list.
> 
>  
> 
> For completeness, after this activity I pressed ins + spacebar and n to review notifications.
> 
> This space available information is not captured in the recent notifications list.
> 
> I pressed escape to return focus to the desired drive.
