About storage options
Phone internal storage

internet and attachments you save from email or text messages are stored there, too.
You can free up space when needed.
SD card storage
You can store media files on an SD card. Just insert the card and move your files from phone storage to the
SD card.
Benefits include:
•
Immediate access to your files
•
No cellular data or internet connection required to access files
•
More control over privacy
Cloud storage
Clouds are great for storing files, like photos, videos, and music, you want to share and access from other
devices.
Benefits include:
•
Access your files from any device with an internet connection
•
File synchronization - no need to keep track of multiple versions in multiple storage locations
•
Backups of photos and videos available if phone is lost or damaged
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 Drive and Photos let you easily back up media to cloud storage.
