Lead: US tech site The Verge wrote that today, although 16GB storage memory of the phone looks a little stretched, but if we can take full advantage of cloud computing services, is still not because of limited storage space and lead practicality decline.
The following is the text of the article:
Although now in 2015, but Apple and Google's entry-level handsets still only 16GB. For frequent use of mobile phones to take photos and videos, play games or install many applications people, this capacity is really stretched. This includes myself, because I do not want to spend more money for the extra space, so the phone memory will always be close to running out of state.
But in the past few years, I'm getting good at managing content on your phone, so there is never more than 16GB-- This is largely thanks to some help of new applications. Though a bit cumbersome, but if you want to save from 50 to 100 US dollars at the time of purchase at a cell phone, do is totally worth it. The following six key ways the phone memory is to reduce memory usage. Many of the 16GB iPhone may have been used, but these suggestions are also available for Android phones.
1, Export photos phones
Photos and videos should be on the phone most of the contents of the space, especially when you've been using for several years after. You should not reduce the number of photos taken, nor should reduce the resolution or use Live Photos and other functions, but rather should be regularly export photos phones, uploaded to the cloud.
Thanks to help Google Photos and Flickr free applications, this process has now become very easy. These applications not only can automatically upload all the photos and videos you shoot, it can even automatically classified by identifying the contents inside. You can either view the photos in the application, you can use the site to browse. The only drawback is that if there is no data service in place, you can not see these old photos. However, once you can access data services, you can feel free to browse all the photos before shooting. It should be noted is that if you use Apple Live photos, it can only be through iCloud backup.
Once you start using cloud photo storage application, you must remember to regularly on the phone to delete old photos. Google also can simplify this process. If your space is reduced, the company's Android application will automatically provide you with an option to delete all the photos have been backed up. You also can as before the phone into your computer, then delete unwanted pictures. If you have iPhone, you should turn off Photo Stream feature, because it will be an additional local storage 1000 photo.
2, Use of streaming music
You probably already know the main methods: as long as possible to take full advantage of cloud computing services, they no longer need much local storage space. Music is perhaps the easiest to implement functions, because there are already a lot of people are using Spotify and with similar applications. Perhaps worth saving a local playlist emergency, in case when the service does not use the data, but in most cases, you should not save the MP3 files on the phone. After all, who knows when you want to hear what song it?
If you do not use streaming music, you can now easily enable such services. First, you can put all your music files are uploaded to the cloud. Thus, if the streaming music service you just do not like the song, you can come in handy. Google Play Music is provided by a first-class free service, you can upload all of your music, and playing through desktop or mobile applications. Apple Music for subscribers provide a similar service, iTunes Match is the plug-in, but do not need to pay for such services. This product did not actually play your songs via streaming, but allows you to re-download, so it will take up space on your phone again.
Once you save your existing music library to the cloud, certainly we would want to remove those files from your phone. Apple can achieve this functionality through iTunes. On Android, you must use the File Browser application to delete the music folder. (Play Music option directory also contains a "management Download" section.) Now, your task is to choose a really suitable for their own streaming music service. If you feel too much trouble, you can directly select as most people like Spotify.
3, Try to use the web
Search word does not have to use a dictionary application, see Wikipedia Wikipedia does not have to download the application, read the news the same application without having to download special. If you can easily get the content they want through the web or Google search, then you can consider removing special applications. Either iOS or Android, you can easily add sites to the main screen, it looks just like an ordinary application of the same. As a result, do not take up storage space can quickly use these services. Just visit the appropriate Web site, then you can add it to your desktop.
4, Leaving only the most commonly played games
You might want to keep several games on the phone, so that when the boring pastime use. So, leaving only willing to play the game can be. I like the "Monument Valley", but now the clearance, so I did not use it up. But "Threes" but they can play over and over again, and continue to create the highest score. I know there are many people on the "Alto adventure" (Alto's Adventure) very addictive.
5, Check your reading list
You can carry a whole library is naturally a good thing, but you probably should not do. If you are a large number of e-book sync to the phone, you must remember to remove already read - if you want to read again, you can download it again later.
In addition, it should be concerned about in Pocket and other applications in offline saved content. Content My Pocket inside the store more than 800MB. Pocket the "Delete All" button, we can provide help for the user. On Android, you can also set the storage cap, you should take advantage of these features.
6, Processing extra files
Obviously, you should remove some of the applications you no longer use - some of which will take up a lot of space, there are some though they take up little space, but it will continue to expand.
There is one thing very few people consider that many applications may be stored offline file without informing the user. For example, streaming music apps may temporarily download songs, in order to provide a better listening experience. Sometimes these files for various reasons and not promptly removed, so you should promptly viewing system, active delete these files.
iPhone and Android installed inside are equipped with some of the features, you can view the space occupied by each application. If some software is too bulky, perhaps this is the case. Android can click on the "Delete Data" button to clear the data in the application. And in the iPhone, one must study each application, and see what you can find. Play Music and other media applications where there is also a button, you can clear all cached data offline.
You can also view this information timely to remind you to delete unwanted data. Once I found my phone holds 1GB voice memo, but no one is useful. You may also find the message began to increase, especially when you regularly send and receive pictures or videos. If you frequently use the phone, you may need to clean up a cell phone every month. But as long as you can do that, you do not have to spend extra money to buy more storage space. Of course, that your Wi-Fi network speed must be fast enough.
