USB stick question

Madison Martin
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how to check the amount of space that's left on a USB stick? I'm sure it says the size on the package, but of course we don't have the package anymore. Using latest versions of Jaws and Windows 10. Thanks Madison

You do so in exactly the same way as with any drive. If you know how
to do this in general, you needn’t read the rest of this explanation. The
computer treats it like any drive.
Be on the stick icon but don’t open it.
Open properties with alt enter.
then wroute the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor if you are using JAWS, move to
the top of the screen and start down arrowing. You will get to an item for
free space. You will hear the amount in bits and in gigabites if you let
the line read.
Press escape to close the dialog and return to where you started and return
to the pc cursor.
If you are using NVDA, the instructions are similar. I won’t go into
detail here as to how you move around the screen but once you open properties,
switch to screen review, move the screen review cursor to the top of the screen,
then move down using the review movement commands by line until you get to the
free space numbers line.

Hi Chris,
This must require a specific view setting
because Insert + tab does nothing on my Win10 system except read me the name of
the drive. What are your view settings please?
Stay safe & take care. Mike. Just once, I want a username and password prompt to say: "Close Enough!"

If you don’t get the information using insert tab, you can do the
following:
I don’t know which screen-reader you are using and I don’t know laptop
layout commands to do what we are discussing. I can tell you that if you
open properties, alt enter, then issue the command insert b, the entire dialog
will be read. You will hear information you aren’t interested in but if
you keep listening, you will hear free space, the number in bytes, and then the
number in gigabytes, which is the number you want. This command will work
in either JAWS or NVDA.
You may want to get the information that way. You may want to learn
how to do the other things that have been discussed but whatever the case, that
is one way you can get the information.

HI Mike, and All, I am using Windows 10, and when I want to know how much space is left on my external drive is to press the insert plus tab keys, and this will tell me how much space I have left, and also tell me the size of the drive from when I first bought the drive, like Chris said. I’m not sure though if using a flash drive would make a difference to tell or not, although, I don’t think so, as it should still give that information.

You might be able to get it to work with a little fooling around, trying

want to play around, using the insert b command I described will give you the
information.

If you are using NVDA, the instructions are similar. I won’t go into detail here as to how you move around the screen but once you open properties, switch to screen review, move the screen review cursor to the top of the screen, then move down using the review movement commands by line until you get to the free space numbers line.

Hi, this is what I love about these lists. I had never heard of this command before. I tried it on my windows 10 machine running jaws 2021 and it works.
I’m using a list view if this makes a difference to anyone else.
Bye for now. From Shaz. Canberra, Australia.

You shouldn’t have to do all that though. Pressing insert tab while focused on the drive will give you that info.

You do so in exactly the same way as with any drive. If you know how to do this in general, you needn’t read the rest of this explanation. The computer treats it like any drive.
Be on the stick icon but don’t open it. Open properties with alt enter. then wroute the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor if you are using JAWS, move to the top of the screen and start down arrowing. You will get to an item for free space. You will hear the amount in bits and in gigabites if you let the line read. Press escape to close the dialog and return to where you started and return to the pc cursor.
