How to detect total available/free disk space on the iPhone/iPad device?

Question

I\'m looking for a better way to detect available/free disk space on the iPhone/iPad device programmatically.
Currently I\'m using the NSFileManager to detect the disk s

Answer 1

for Swift as UIDevice extension

extension UIDevice {
    func freeDiskspace() -> NSString {
        let failedResult: String = "Error Obtaining System Memory"
        guard let path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, NSSearchPathDomainMask.UserDomainMask, true).last else {
            return failedResult
        }
        do {
            let dictionary = try NSFileManager.defaultManager().attributesOfFileSystemForPath(path)
            if let fileSystemSizeInBytes = dictionary[NSFileSystemSize] as? UInt,
                let freeFileSystemSizeInBytes =     dictionary[NSFileSystemFreeSize] as? UInt {
                    return "Memory \(freeFileSystemSizeInBytes/1024/1024) of \(fileSystemSizeInBytes/1024/1024) Mb available."
            } else {
                    return failedResult
            }
        } catch {
            return failedResult
        }
    }
}

How to use:

print("\(UIDevice.currentDevice().freeDiskspace())")

Output will be:

Memory 9656 of 207694 Mb available.
