Hello.. been a fan of syncthing for awhile now
First time poster here!
Just a quick simple feature.. Can “disk free” be added?
Would save a lot of dramas

You’re going to have to be a bit more specific.

Its really frustrating running out of disk space in the middle of a massive sync
It would be handy if users could tell from the web gui how much disk space is remaining on each shared host.
at a minimum it would great to have that just on the “this device” part of the web gui

The database could be on a separate disk. Each folder could be on a separate disk. Even within a folder there could be submounts.
This looks easy but is actually a can of worms…

Additionally, there is a config value for minimum amount of disk space, so you can prevent it from running out of space in each of these places.

It would have to be shown in the folder list not the device list and it would be local for that device only I think.
