Make More Storage Space
As you use your phone, you’ll accumulate data and fill its storage capacity over time. Here are some
tips on how to increase storage space.
Run the Storage Wizard
Free up space in the phone storage by uninstalling apps and deleting files you no longer need. In
Settings, tap Storage > Make more space.
Store Files in Google Drive
Photos, email attachments, and other documents can be stored in Google Drive and accessed
anywhere you are. You can set the Camera app to automatically upload photos to Google Drive.
See
Google Drive .

Manage Photos and Videos
n
Set the Camera app to automatically upload to a photo-sharing site or online storage. You can
retrieve them from the photo-sharing site or online storage when needed.
Note: Using data services while uploading photos and videos may be costly. You may want to
connect to Wi-Fi or disable auto upload of camera shots if you have a limited data plan.
n
After taking continuous camera shots, keep only the best shot and discard the rest.
n
After editing a photo or trimming a video, the original file is kept. You can delete original files or
move them to online storage or to your computer.
n
If you are only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. High-resolution video takes
up more space. In Camera settings, tap Video Quality to change the resolution.
Back Up Apps Data
Keep only the most recent data from apps on your phone. You can back up calendars, contacts, and
bookmarks or export text messages, and personal dictionaries. See
Backup .
Disable Some Apps
Apps, even if not used often, may be running in the background and downloading data into the
phone storage. If the app cannot be removed, you can disable it. In Settings, tap Apps, slide to the
ALL tab and select the app that you want to disable. Tap Disable.
Encrypt Data on Your Phone
On the phone storage, you can encrypt data such as your accounts, settings, downloaded apps and
their data, media, and other files. On a storage card, you can only encrypt files.
