Comment on 16GB Is a Bad User Experience

Comments

Just write a script that would move all the videos and photos off the device when docked each night or each week. 1G a day for photo's and 3 video's should be enough for everybody, you don't have the time to rewatch them anyway. Less is more. Or just get an Android device with a microsd port; 128G is cheap.

I do have an Android device with 16G main memory and a 64G SD card. Despite having plenty of free space on the card, I pretty routinely run out of space on the 16G. That's because most apps can only install there, and many apps can't use the SD card for storing their data. Case in point, last week I discovered I had 2.3G of Audible files. I could find no obvious way of transferring them over to the free space on the SD card...

And yet juggling two storage points despite being larger then one isn't what one would call "a good user experience".
