Yeah, go to your user directory, and take a look at how much disk space you're using.

Now subtract:
- any Applications
- Music (pretty much the whole folder)
- Photos (again, pretty much the whole thing, correct?)

How much is left?

On my work machine, after taking out the above, I've got about 3.2GB left that would be suitable for syncing. (ok, ok, so I have 70GB of proprietary client data, but that's not going to get synced in any case, that's what the work servers are for...)

At home, just off the top of my head, I think it's about 12GB, but over 8GB of that is redundant backups of some early research data that I still need to clean and cull.

At both work and home, I'm within the 5GB free range.
Video is a big question mark at this point.
