Storage
Everything the APKCombo editors have written about storage. Each piece answers a situation you are actually in rather than a category, and every app links through to its own page, with the current release and every earlier one.
GuidesStorageHardware The port does more than charging
A phone will happily run a keyboard, a mouse and a memory stick. It will not power a desktop hard drive.
GuidesStorageHardware Cheap storage with conditions attached
A memory card is the cheapest storage you will ever buy and the least reliable place to keep anything.
GamesBig gamesStorage When the download is the price of admission
The store size is the beginning. Several of these download as much again the first time you open them.
AppsPhotosStorage The camera roll nobody can search
Most of a camera roll is not photographs. It is receipts, screenshots and eleven versions of the same picture.
AppsStorageBackup Fifteen gigabytes, and then what
The free tier is not a product, it is a runway. Decide where you are landing before it ends.
AppsMinimalStorage Small tools that do not want to be platforms
A calculator does not need an account. Somehow this became a controversial position.
AppsLiteStorage The cut down builds, honestly assessed
A Lite app is not a smaller app. It is a different set of decisions about what to leave out.
AppsStorageGuides Archive tools on Android compared
For a plain ZIP either works. For a split, password-protected archive, only one does.

The transfer covers most of it. This list is the rest, and it is always the same items.
GuidesStoragePerformance Freeing storage that does not fill back up in a week
You are not short of space because of cache. You are short because of video.
GuidesStorageTroubleshooting Cache or data: which one to clear, and what it costs

GuidesXAPKInstallingStorage What a split APK is, and why your app is in pieces
Your phone downloads a quarter of the app because it only needs a quarter of it.
GuidesInstallingStorage Installing an APK from your computer over USB
The USB route sidesteps scoped storage entirely, which is why it solves problems no app can.
GuidesStorageInstalling Getting the APK out of an app you already have
The best archive of an app you trust is the copy already installed on your phone.
GuidesStorageInstalling Moving to a new phone without losing anything
The transfer works. The gaps are always the same five things, and they are the ones that hurt.
GuidesStoragePerformancePrivacy Getting rid of bloatware without rooting the phone
Disable is enough for almost everyone. Removal is a computer job and it comes back on a reset.
AppsStoragePrivacy Photo backup that does not mean buying more Google storage
There is no free unlimited option left. There are several cheap ones and one that costs nothing but a computer.
AppsStorageEditors picks File managers that still work under Android's storage rules
Half the file managers on Android became less useful in 2020 and never explained why.
GuidesInstallingStorage Screen density in APK downloads: what nodpi and xxhdpi mean
Density variants exist to save space. Picking the wrong one costs you sharpness, not function.
AppsStorageLow-end phones How to live with a 32 GB phone
The system takes its share first. What is left is smaller than the box suggested.
AppsLow-end phonesPerformanceStorage Apps that actually work on an Android Go phone
Go edition is not just a smaller Android. It changes what a full-size app can do.
GamesStorageLow-end phonesOffline Android games under 100 MB, for when storage is full
Games that download in under a minute and leave room for your photos.
GuidesStorageInstallingTroubleshooting “Insufficient storage” with gigabytes free: what is really happening
The phone is not lying about the free space. It needs more of it than you think.
GuidesGamesTroubleshootingStorage Your game reinstalls its data every launch: fix the OBB folder
The data is on your phone. The game is looking somewhere else.
