Apps are stored in your phone’s internal storage. Files you download from email or the internet are stored there, too. You can store photos, videos, and music in internal storage, but for optimal app performance, free up internal storage by using an SD card to store these items. Or, to access your files from anywhere you have an internet connection, store them with a cloud service like Google Drive.
You can store photos, videos, music, and other files on an SD card.
Benefits include:
To transfer files or view them on another device (TV, computer, etc.), remove the SD card from your phone and insert it into the other device. Files can also be moved within the phone’s memory or transferred to a computer using a USB cable.
Clouds are great for storing files you want to share and access on the go, like photos, videos, and music.
Benefits include:
Cloud storage providers typically offer free storage that can be expanded with a paid subscription once you reach the free-storage limit. Or you can manage your free storage by removing files you no longer need to make space for new ones.
Apps like Google+ let you easily back up media with automatic uploads. Google+ users can enable automatic backups to upload photos and videos to a private folder as they’re captured.
