Hi there. I used Synchthing to transfer a 308 GB folder to my Android phone but the size in phone is around 331 GB. Why is this so?

Thanks for the detailed explanation. How do I make Windows to show actual GB and not GiB?

Probably through some third-party window manager instead of explorer.exe because a cursory search shows that it's impossible to do it even with regedit. I have no idea about third-party window managers for Windows outside of them existing.
