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.
With two fingers, swipe down from the status bar, and then touch
n
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 for details.
Note: Google Drive is a third-party app and is not provided by or associated with HTC Corporation.
Manage Photos and Videos
Set the Camera app to automatically upload to a photo-sharing site or online storage. You can
n
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.
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
n
move them to online storage or to your computer.
If you are only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. High-resolution video takes
n
up more space. In Camera settings, touch 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.
1. With two fingers, swipe down from the status bar, and then touch
2. Slide to the ALL tab and select the app that you want to disable.
3. Touch Disable.
