nice code! change 1000 to 1024

The long n = 1000 is a bug in my eyes. it should be 1024 instead.

I hope that it would be more useful
public String getFileSize(long size, int round) {
try {
if (size <= 0)
return "0";
final String[] units = new String[]{"B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB", "EB", "ZB", "YB"};
int digitGroups = (int) (Math.log10(size) / Math.log10(1024));
return String.format("%." + round + "f", size / Math.pow(1024, digitGroups)) + " " + units[digitGroups];
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
return "";
}

@Cranked Nice and clean ... but expensive! Do NOT use in (tight) loops.

Mixed alternative:

public class ByteUnitFormatter {
  private static final int THRESHOLD = 1024; // You could use 2048, 4096 or 8192 for greater precision / lower unit.

  private static final String[] UNITS = new String[]{ "B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB", "EB", "ZB", "YB" };

  public static void main( String[] args ) {
    for( String arg : args ) {
      try {
        System.out.println( format( Long.parseLong( arg ), 2 ) );
      } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
        System.out.println( arg + " is not a long" );
      }
    }
  }

  public static String format( double size, int decimals ) {
    size = size < 0 ? 0 : size;
    int u;
    for( u = 0; u < UNITS.length - 1 && size >= THRESHOLD; ++u ) {
      size /= 1024;
    }
    return String.format( "%." + decimals + "f %s", size, UNITS[ u ] );
  }
}
