Smartphone Storage: New Year is not just the name of changing the calendar but also an opportunity to organize yourself and your habits. In today’s digital era, a large part of our life is captured on smartphones – photos, videos, important documents and chats. In such a situation, it is common for the phone’s storage to fill up quickly. It is not easy to delete these files because these are our memories and important records. Therefore, it is better to prepare a secure backup of your data before the beginning of the new year.
Easy and reliable ways to backup data
There are many options available today to free up smartphone storage and keep data safe. By choosing the right method, you can handle your digital stuff without any tension.
Google Drive
Google Drive has become the most popular backup tool for both Android and iOS users today. It is already present in most Android phones and is quite easy to use.
Google gives every user up to 15GB of free storage in which photos, videos and documents can be kept safely. If this space falls short, more storage can be availed at nominal cost. In India, a 100GB plan is available for around Rs 130 per month, while on some accounts the option of additional storage is also available at a lower cost.
Benefit of free cloud storage with mobile recharge
Telecom companies in India are also providing the benefit of cloud storage to their users. Google Cloud Storage is available for free with some select prepaid and postpaid plans.
In some plans of Jio, up to 2TB of Google cloud storage is being provided for one year, while Airtel offers up to 30GB of cloud storage every month in its select recharge packs. If you are already using these networks then this can become an economical method of backup.
JioAICloud
Reliance Jio has recently launched its cloud platform JioAICloud. Through this, users can easily save photos, videos and files online.
Initially up to 50GB free storage is available in this service. The special thing is that along with Jio users, people using other networks can also try it as a trial for a limited time.
What is better cloud storage or physical drive?
Cloud storage is the most preferred option today because data can be accessed from anywhere. On the other hand, external hard drive or SSD is a one-time purchase and does not have to be paid every month.
However, physical storage also has disadvantages. These can be easily lost, damaged and it is not possible to carry them everywhere. In comparison, in cloud services, data remains safe on multiple servers, which reduces the risk of loss.
Start the New Year without storage stress
If you want the new year to start without the problem of phone slowing down and storage getting full, then make a habit of data backup from now on. By choosing the right option, not only will your phone remain light but your memories and important files will also remain completely safe.
