Different values of free space in Nautilus and Disk Usage Analyzer

Hello,

I would like to ask you why I am getting different values of free space in Nautilus and Disk Usage Analyzer.

This is from Nautilus:

This is from Disk Usage Analyzer:

And this is from `df -h`:

/dev/sdb1       1.8T  1.7T  6.6G 100% /run/media/tomsk/Data

---

I use several linux distros like: Archlinux, Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint

The small difference is GiB ./. GB, 6.6/1000^3*1024^3=7.086696
No idea about "disk usage analyzer" - neither what that is, nor what it measures.

Filesystems will have some reserved space (5%) that's only available to UID0 processes, what could be the 100GB difference.
