You know the saying: You can never be too rich , being too thin or have too much free space on your phone.
the first two are crazy, but the third may end up being true when you have no more room to install apps, take pictures or download music.
Some phones and Android tablets incorporate a simple solution. a microSD card slot But what happens if there is no slot for memory expansion Will you buy a new device
in the future maybe, but not today. There are ways to free up space that you might have not considered. So before you start to delete family photos, try these strategies.
Select your apps
the apps are cheap and there are plenty, so people tend to accumulate – even those who barely used. So ask what apps really need and what you can do without. Remember: delete an app does not mean you can not use it anymore. You can always reinstall and if you come to need.
The games tend to be heavier apps. So if no longer you play, for example, Grand Theft Auto. San Andreas , delete and recover 2.4GB of storage
If you want to know what my deal more space, the operating system Android will tell you. Go to Settings and then look for Storage (on some devices may be Storage and USB ) . Finally dale to Applications and expects the operating system to calculate the numbers storage. with this information you can decide which apps are worth keeping.
Download photos and videos
the more snapshots and movies capture with your camera phone, the less space you have. After a year or two to capture the important moments of life (not to mention those selfies ) it is normal to have a storage crisis
. Solution: download less important or older things elsewhere. It can be from the hard drive of your computer or a data service in the cloud as Dropbox or Flickr. The latter is a good choice and offers free 1 terabyte of storage for photos.
Naturally, Google Photos gives you unlimited storage for both photos and video. the only limitation is that the photos must have less than 16 megapixel and videos 1,080po be less. in addition, you can automatically delete from your phone that you’ve copied to the cloud, thus freeing . more storage space
to access this option, open the Photos app, give Menu & gt; Settings and hit Cleanup device .
Move to the transmission of data
As mentioned before, some content they occupy a lot of space on your phone or tablet. that you think you same as the photos or videos. But then there are the music, the podcasts and videos you can download.
unless you need to maintain a library of such content on your device – if you make a long trip where there will be good access to Wi-Fi. – no warehouses, better use data transmission or streaming
music example, if you are used to the old MP3s and you copied some or all of your music library on your device, head over to a better streaming music service. You still have access to your favorite (and some other) songs, but not necessary to keep the files in the memory of your device.
Do not you want to pay? You can turn your computer into a “service” streaming music. All you need is a software that makes the content server function (Plex is a popular choice). The program will transmit your music and videos to your mobile devices.
Whenever you can, instead of storing transmitted.
Add external storage
It seems a bit cruel that the Android can run on cards to expand the memory of your device, but not all have slots for these cards.
but really you can add extra storage to any Android device, but will have to be external. you can have the shape of a disk that plugs (like a USB stick) or a transmitter of wireless content. Each has advantages and disadvantages.
the Ultra Dual USB drive 3.0 SanDisk takes a connector USB standard on one end and a Micro-USB on the other. the latter is connected to your phone or tablet and gives you between 16GB and 128GB of additional memory. But note that your device must be compatible with OTG, luckily most are.
it is a good solution and not very expensive. But this kind of removable disks protrude from your device. If you do not want the added bulk, consider a wireless transmitter content. It is the same idea but with free Wi-Fi Lightning connector instead.
The MyPassport Western Digital Wireless, for example, comes in 1TB and 2TB format. You can store your photos, lets you access your music, videos and other content. But prices start from US $ 150 and can be a bit cumbersome to carry in your pocket.
If you want a more portable solution, look something like Ravpower Filehub, a wireless SD card reader for USB drive that sells for US $ 30-US $ 40 addition it is also a system of free Wi-Fi and mobile charger
Please note a limitation of all these options. you can not play music or videos protected by digital rights management (DRM acronym) as you can buy in Google Play or download Spotify. External storage services work only for your own content.
