Following code is Swift 3.0 version implementation of the answer previously provided by ChrisJF:

func freeSpaceInBytes() -> NSString {

    var remainingSpace = NSLocalizedString("Unknown", comment: "The remaining free disk space on this device is unknown.")

    do {
        let dictionary =  try FileManager.default.attributesOfFileSystem(forPath: NSHomeDirectory())
        let freeSpaceSize = ((dictionary[FileAttributeKey.systemFreeSize] as AnyObject).longLongValue)!
        remainingSpace = ByteCountFormatter.string(fromByteCount: freeSpaceSize, countStyle: ByteCountFormatter.CountStyle.file)
    }
    catch let error {
        NSLog(error.localizedDescription)
    }

    return remainingSpace as NSString

}
