my computer/this pc not showing free space

Is it an internal drive? Though that shouldn't matter as it should display free space on plugged in devices as well.

What sort of drive is it?

@Fatmanpeters
The length of the drive name is taking available space away to display the Free/Used data. An MS thing, nothing you did. There have been discussions on it. Not much you can do except shorten the drive name.
To test that, take the word "and" out of it, change it to "Downloads Docs". See what happens.

Change the view to Details will also fix this. Not a good solutions but a useful workaround.

The 'discussions' started in earnest after the Fall Creators Update. MS moved the drive icon a little to the right leaving some free space on its left. They also changed the behaviour of long names from truncation to word-wrap. This meant a lot of drive names suddenly became too long for the available space.

It used to be that if a name was too long it would truncate the name in file explorers tile view, basically the end of it would fade away behind the drive letter. What it does now, is it puts the rest of the name and/or the drive letter on a second line...

As you can see on the screenshot the spacing left of the Icon is too large...

Apparently the latest Insider builds have moved the drive icon back to the left again, so looks like 1809 (when it's released) may give you enough space to use that long name.

thank you, all this time, I thought it was an permission's problem not something stupid as an too
longer name

You're welcome! Some day MS will correct it, I hope, it's a nuisance.

They will add it to the list.
