How come my Raspberry Pi doesn't show total storage?

Question

I have attached and mounted a usb drive to my Raspberry Pi for extra storage. I look in folders to see the total storage of the Pi but it still stays the same. Does it only show the total storage of the micro SD? Or is it supposed to show everything?

It depends where you're looking. If you're in the SD card then it will show the space there. You need to go to the mounted storage to see it's space. Try df -h in the terminal to see the space on all mounted filesystems/storeage devices. — mintyfreshpenguin, Nov 03 '17 at 14:11
Does this answer your question? How to tell how much memory is left on the SD card? — Dmitry Grigoryev, Oct 23 '20 at 13:15

As above @mintyfreshpenguin said that to see all storage on your raspberry pi, do df -h.
