Always use await Size.init(); to initialize package before trying any other method. This will download the required libs since they can't be bundled with this Package.
Note: On linux, if your home, root and any other directory are on different partitions, your partition size will be returned.
Additional information #
Each get.. function returns an int which is actually the disk size in byte.
Difference between getFreeDiskSpace and getAvailableDiskSpace #
According to AlexP on askubuntu


Free memory is the amount of memory which is currently not used for anything. This number should be small, because memory which is not used is simply wasted.
Available memory is the amount of memory which is available for allocation to a new process or to existing processes.
