Why Is the Same File a Different Size in Different Places?
⚛️ Ever notice that the same file can show up as different sizes depending on where you look? It’s not a mistake; it’s how disks and online services handle storage. I’ll explain why your files can look bigger or smaller, what clusters have to do with it, and why it’s nothing to worry about.⚛️ File size confusion
* Disk space is allocated one cluster at a time. Even a one-byte file takes up at least one cluster of space.
* Cluster size is configurable when a disk is formatted. Clusters range from 512 to 131,072 bytes.
* Different utilities show disk space differently.
* Online services hide all that and simply show the file size.
