About storage options
Internal phone storage
You can store photos, videos, music and applications on your phone. Files you download from
email or the Internet 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.
Benefits include:
• Immediate access to your files
• No Internet connection required — does not use mobile data or Wi-Fi
• More control over privacy
Cloud storage
Clouds are great for storing files you want to share and access on the go, like photos, videos
and music.
Benefits include:
• Access to your files from any computer or mobile device with an Internet connection —
uses mobile data or Wi-Fi
• File synchronisation - no need to keep track of multiple versions in multiple storage
locations
• Ideal for backups of photos and videos
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 such as Drive and Photos let you easily back up media.
