Switching phones, is there a way to save all my music?

I was going to say transfer to a pc but that's not an option. :p

I would suggest using a cloud storage option such as Copy, Google Drive or Dropbox.

All of those have apps that you can install on your phone and transfer files easily to/from your device.

Google gives you 15GB of free space I believe with your Google account. Copy also gives you 15, and if you sign up through the referral link in my signature, you'll get an extra 5 gb. So 20 total, and no size limits.

For ease of use, if you are already signed into your google account on your device, the Google Drive app should automatically log you in.


Whichever one you choose to go with, just install the app and choose your files to upload. On your new device, install the app, log in and export/download to your phone storage.

I have an LG motion and I'm about to switch to a different phone. I have about 300 songs saved on my phone.

Is there any way to somehow save my music and transfer it to my new phone without rooting my phone and without saving it to a computer because I don't have the means to do either.

Sorry guys. I plan to get the F3

I just thought of this; you're coming from a Motion, that has an SD card. You say you have 300 songs, they must be on the SD card, I really don't think that that many songs would find on the internal storage of the Motion. Just pull it out and put it in the F3.

That was a guess. I uploaded everything (music + a few ringtones) to Google Drive and it said I was using 1.1 GB out of 15 GB.
