Incorrect File Size Calculation in Files App (Uses 1:1000 Instead of 1:1024)

• /e/ version: 2.4-t
• Device model(s): beyond2lte
• Developer mode enabled: yes
• Device rooted: no
• Trackers blocker enabled: yes

Summary

The file size calculation in the Files app on Android /e/OS is incorrect, using 1:1000 instead of the standard 1:1024, resulting in wrong file size displays.

The problem

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the Files app in /e/OS.
2. Select any file (image, video, document, etc.).
3. Observe the displayed file size.
4. Compare the displayed size with the actual size (calculated using 1:1024).

What is the current behavior?

File sizes are calculated using the 1:1000 ratio (e.g., 1 KB = 1000 bytes, 1 MB = 1000 KB), which results in an incorrect display of file sizes.

What is the expected correct behavior?

File sizes should be calculated using the 1:1024 ratio (e.g., 1 KB = 1024 bytes, 1 MB = 1024 KB), which is the standard method for file size calculation.
