Low On Storage

[kborg]

I've got 16G of storage. I've got 719M left. What the heck takes up so much storage, besides photos? How can I put all my photos on the cloud and still have easy access to them? How can free up storage without deleting apps I use regularly? I'm not a gamer. I don't have THAT many photos.

Google Drive is probably the easiest way to put your photos in the cloud and still have ready access to them on an Android phone.

no use google photos. it automatically save it for you. you can even set it to upload only on wifi to save data consumption. google drive works as well, but you have to manually do it. google photos is automatic.

as far as space goes, keep in mind that with internal storage, it is not just one big storage area. it is partitioned into segments. so only part of the 16gb is for your phone's storage. the other part is for your phone's operating system. android os now days are pretty big in size ezpecially nougat on up.

to really not worry about space you need phones with 32 gb on up.
