Types of storage
Want to know what types of storage you can use for your apps, data, and files?
HTC One M9 has these storage types:
Phone
storage
This storage combines both the internal storage, where apps, email, data, and text
messages are stored, and the file storage, where photos, videos, and music files are
kept.
If you are running out of phone storage, see
for some tips on how to free up space.
Storage
card
Use a storage card for storing more files. You can also set some apps to store data or
files directly to the card.
USB
storage
When you plug in an external USB storage device (such as a USB flash drive or an SD
card reader), you can view photos and videos stored on the device right from Gallery
and play songs stored on the device in Music. You can also open PDFs and edit Office
documents.
You need a special cable to connect HTC One M9 and a USB storage device.
HTC One M9 supports USB storage devices (except portable hard drives) up to 128
GB.
§
Moving apps to the storage card doesn't back up the apps. If you do a factory reset, your phone
loses the apps. You'll need to reinstall them.
§
When you remove the storage card and insert it in another phone, the apps on the storage card
won't be installed automatically to the other phone. You'll need to reinstall them.
