I haven't really thought about extra storage in awhile, when most phones are 256GB or more it's hard to fill up that much space. At most I keep my music (maybe 30GB or so), some offline shows when traveling, photos, etc.. I'm barely at 60GB of usage on mine.
All I ever remember with SD cards in phones was how slow they are, how often they would randomly break and corrupt the data somehow, and how annoying it was to get stuff to properly work with content on an SD card.
Yeah my buddies all buy the biggest phone capacity they can get, and I barely thought about my last phones 128gb. I had to check my current phones capacity just now, thought it was 256 but I guess it's 512.
I'm using 180 ish, but I could easily be under a hundred again if I deleted a bunch of crap that's built up ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I do remember losing a months worth of photos years ago when my SD card died, and my Dropbox had gotten full. That was the day I upgraded my Dropbox. I'm on a yearly subscription, it's due to renew next month, I hope to be on immich by then. Just gotta find time.
Immich has been great, I started using it like 2 years ago now I think.
I just bought a 1TB SD card and cloned the 512GB card that was in my phone over to it because I was running out of space. My phone is rooted which does make forcing or tricking apps to use the SD card for storage much easier.
That's fair, the downside of rooting for me is the struggle with updates and it significantly compromises the security of my phone.
