Hey guys, I wanted to share the best ways to add storage to your smartphones.
Since some newer phones don't come with an expandable data SD card slot.
Like iPhone and new Samsung's Galaxy phones. I use a few solutions for this issue.
The first one is to use your favorite cloud.
I use multiple free cloud services like Drive, BOX, Dropbox and Onedrive.
Then I use the Play Store App "
ES Files Explorer" to easily manage them all.
The last two a very similar but slightly different.
The first one is a "
SanDisk Connect".
It connects by Wi-Fi Direct meaning it connects to the phone through a direct Wi-Fi link,
you don't need to be on a network, it will create one. It comes with an App to manage your data on the USB thumb drive.
The cool thing about this you can just throw it the glovebox, or put it on your Keychain and multiple people can wirelessly connect to it.
The second and most convenient for me is the "
Samsung Drive Duo".
It's a USB 3.0 thumb drive that has both connections on it.
You can plug it into the charge port - USB Micro port or into a computer.
It uses the phones OTG "on the go" usb capability. These are much smaller so it fits anywhere.
They both have come down in price so much that your better off getting the largest size.
That way you can make a complete backup of your phone and still have room for movies and other data.
Alternatively you can get an "
OTG Adapter" and use any thumb drive you already have.
Just click on the links in each paragraph for the items on Amazon.
I've already shopped around and these are currently the best prices out there.
So if you need extra data storage for your smartphone then these are great options.
