It is inevitable to see how over the months we are filling all the internal storage of our Android device, until this becomes a problem. We know that the ideal solution is usually to buy a microSD card, but if we do not want to go through the box, we teach you how to save space on your mobile using Google tools for free .
If we take a look at the beginnings of Android, we will see that the cameras of smartphones were of lower quality, so the photos took up less space. The same happens with multimedia content (games, music, videos) , it has improved its quality and with it the needs of internal storage.
How to save space on the mobile using Google tools.
A practical and totally free way to free up space, is to use Google services to store the multimedia contents and documents that we have in the internal storage in the cloud .
It seems that the concern for space limits has reached Google, who has already updated their Google Play Store application to suggest that applications could be uninstalled to free up space.
But first, we will try to get used to the use of the cloud to store photos and videos. For this, it is best to use the Google Photos service , which is completely free. The service in its free version puts us some limitations in terms of quality that are:
- Images with a maximum size of 16MP.
- Videos with a maximum resolution of 1080p.
Videos and images that have a superior quality, will be "converted" once uploaded to adapt to the maximum limits. If we use the payment service, these limitations do not exist. But if we are sincere, the free service is more than enough for the vast majority of Android users.
Once the photos of our smartphone have been saved in Google Photos, we can select the option provided by the application itself "Unoccupy space" that will remove from internal storage all those photos that are already saved in the cloud .
For the documents, we can use Google Drive and thus eliminate even more space. Do not lose sight of other services in the cloud such as DropBox , which are also very useful and with free plan.
