Types Of Storage; Should I Use The Storage Card As Removable Or Internal Storage - HTC Desire 19s User Manual

79 Storage

Types of storage

Starting from Android 6.0, there have been some changes on how and where downloaded apps and
their data can be stored.
Phone storage
This is the internal storage which contains the Android system, preinstalled apps, email, text
messages, and cached data from the apps. You can also install apps that you've downloaded and
capture photos, videos, and screenshots to this storage.
Storage card
Use your storage card as a removable storage to store and access your media and other files on HTC
Desire 19s or any Android phone, or set it up as an extension of the internal storage. See
the storage card as removable or internal storage?
USB storage
You can plug in an external USB storage device such as a USB flash drive or an SD card reader. You
need a special cable to connect HTC Desire 19s and a USB storage device.
Should I use the storage card as removable or internal
storage?
Use your storage card as removable storage when you have content on the card, such as media or
photos, that you don't want to lose. If you have a brand new storage 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 storage card as removable storage to be able to access the card's contents on HTC Desire
19s or other Android devices.
Internal storage
Set up a new storage card as internal storage for more privacy and secure use. This encrypts and
formats the storage card to work just like the internal storage.
This also expands the internal storage space since:
§ Captured screenshots, photos, media, and other files will be stored on the storage card.
§ Third-party apps that you installed and their data can be moved between the built-in storage
and storage card.
After setting up the storage card as internal storage, the card can only be used on HTC Desire 19s
where it has been formatted.
