Also note, that any storage used outside owncloud will decrease the number 
show, it shows what is currently available for ownCloud, if you have a 1TB 
drive and 960GB data on that outside owncloud, owncloud will have 40GB 
available. In the same way, files of other owncloud users wil decrease the 
number.

The number is calculated by adding the size of all owncloud files to the free 
space of the partition.
