I bought this computer one year ago and it came with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I used the computer as it came and I didn't have problems until now when I can't even download photos because the storage is full.

In settings it says I only have 7,7GB s available even though on the computer specs it is 1TB.

I ran lsblk in the terminal and it does show that I have 1TB of space but I can only use 7,7GB for some reason.

How can I fix this?

sda      8:0    0 931,5G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0   3,8G  0 part [SWAP]
└─sda2   8:2    0   7,5G  0 part /
sr0     11:0    1  1024M  0 rom

If 14.04 LTS supports this, try using GParted to see the partitions in the disk. There is a good chance that the partition you are seeing (7.7GB) is the only formatted partition, and you might see "Free Space 9xx GB" or something of that nature. You only need to extend the partition (if possible).
