The StorageEstimate dictionary's usage
property is a conservative approximation of how much storage is allotted to the origin
or Web app that called StorageManager.estimate(); there may be more space
available, but there will not be less. The value is an estimate because the
user agent may use compression, duplication prevention techniques, and
other methods to improve storage efficiency.
Syntax
usage = StorageEstimate.usage;
Value
A numeric value specifying an approximation of the total amount of storage space available for use by the application.
Example
In this example, we obtain the usage estimates and present the percentage of storage capacity currently used to the user.
HTML content
<label>
You’re currently using about <output id="percent">
</output>% of your available storage.
</label>
JavaScript content
navigator.storage.estimate().then(function(estimate) {
document.getElementById("percent").value =
(estimate.usage / estimate.quota * 100).toFixed(2);
});
