Types Of Storage; Sd Card Storage Settings - HTC Desire 626s User Manual

Types of Storage

Your phone has the following storage types for your apps, data, and files.
●
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.
When you are running out of phone storage, you can free up space by uninstalling apps,
changing download settings, or moving files to your computer or to an online storage service.
●
SD card (SD card). Use your SD card (purchased separately) as a removable storage to store
and access your media and other files on HTC Desire 626s or any Android phone, or set it up as
an extension of the internal storage. See
●
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 adapter to connect your phone and a USB storage device. Your phone
supports USB storage devices (except portable hard drives) up to 64 GB.
●
Online storage. If you're using an online storage account that's accessible from your phone, you
can store your files to your online storage.

SD Card Storage Settings

Use your SD card as removable storage when there's already content such as your media and other files
so that you don't lose that content. If you have a brand new SD card, choose whether to use it as
removable storage or set it up as an extension of the internal storage.
Removable Storage
Use a new SD card as removable storage to be able to insert and use the card on HTC Desire 626s and
other Android phones.
Internal Storage
Set up a new SD card as internal storage for more privacy and secure use. This encrypts and formats the
SD card to work just like the internal storage.
This also expands the storage space since:
●
Captured screenshots, camera shots, media, and other files will be stored on the SD card.
●
Third-party apps that you installed and their data can be moved between the on-device storage
and SD card.
Important: After setting up the SD card as internal storage, the SD card can only be used on HTC Desire
626s where it has been formatted.
