Free Space Reported in Get Info
Get Info overstates the free space on my boot drive. Disk Utility reports ~295 GB; Get Info reports ~467 GB out of 500. Any idea why?

Get Info reports three things: Capacity, Available, and Used. Capacity would likely be 467 GB. You may be looking at the wrong figure.
“You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed."
