8 Ways to Upgrade Your Storage Without Losing Your Mind

8 Ways to Upgrade Your Storage Without Losing Your Mind

Do you experience a problem in storing all your things? Between family pictures, working documents, and active TV series, it grows challenging to handle all the data. 

But before you go on a rampage and start throwing away anything that you think does not deserve to be in your world, or go out to buy new gadgets that you cannot afford, think again. Bringing out the new look of your storage does not have to be stressful or involve a lot of spending.  

In this post, you will learn how to add more storage with minimal effort by reading these 8 helpful tips.

1. Transfer Information to Other Portable Hard Disks  

External hard drives enable added storage at affordable prices and with almost no wait time. They have been gradually decreasing their costs and have larger capacities than external hard drives, making them an inexpensive means of backing important files and media. It is also helpful to move files and data that are rarely accessed from the main devices to free up some space. And do not forget once in a while to sync the files in the external drive as well just in case!!  

2. Embrace Cloud Storage Solutions

Most present-day cloud SSD storage platforms provide safe online data storage with a large volume of storage. Services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive, etc offer initial capacities which are free of charge. Premium subscriptions are normally available for a few dollars per month. Upload files that you or the other users will often need so that they can be easily accessed across devices. 

3. Clear Unwanted Programs or Documents  

Applications, games, documents, and other temporary files occupy more space in the internal memory of our devices than we can imagine. Occasionally removing programs that are not needed, movies that have been downloaded and watched and other unnecessary files that occupy disk space can help to gain more room. Your device will run better too and you will have fewer applications which take up a lot of space and slow things down.

When removing files, it is important to be careful not to delete anything important. It is also a good idea to create a backup of any important files before deleting them.

In addition to removing unnecessary files, there are a few other things that can be done to free up space on our devices. These include:

  • Move apps to an external SD card: If your device has an SD card slot, you can move apps to the SD card to free up space on the internal memory.

  • Use cloud storage: Cloud storage services, such as Google Drive and Dropbox, can be used to store files that are not frequently accessed. This can help to free up space on the internal memory of your device.

  • Factory reset: If your device is running slowly and you have tried the other methods listed above, you may want to consider doing a factory reset. This will erase all of the data on your device, so it is important to back up any important files before doing a factory reset.

By following these tips, you can free up space on your device and improve performance. This will make it easier to find the files you need and keep your device running smoothly.

4. Use Multiple Memory Cards 

If the gadget you are using involves a digital camera, a smartphone, or any other device that uses a memory card, then ensure that you carry with you several memory cards as possible. Replace them whenever they get full instead of cramming all of them into one small one. Even cards are produced nowadays in such sets that do not pinch the pocket much. Moreover, you will not risk having your entire data wiped out in case one of the overladen cards blows up.  

5. Optimize Photos and Videos

Large files such as photos, videos, and audio recordings are just some examples of blobs of data that can unnecessarily fill up storage devices. The access to compression tools helps you to optimize your media files and saves you great space. It is not very likely that you will see a significant difference in the quality when it comes to the compressed versions in both cases. Plus, the originals remain there in case you ever require them to be used in the future.  

6. Maximize Smartphone Storage  

The internal memory on your smartphone gets consumed much faster than you expect from app downloads, photos & videos, downloaded content caches, and so on. Fortunately, most phones provide a way to increase as well as organize storage space. Copy photos/videos into cloud SSD storage and other SD cards. Also, the end-user should disable the app background refresh and clear the cached temporary files to create space inside.  

7. Try Vertical Storage Solutions

Horizontal spaces, such as shelves that run floor to ceiling in a home, are typically filled up rapidly but vertical storage is often left empty. Store items neatly with the help of available walls and doors, using utility hooks and standing shelving units, making use of every inch. For instance, e-wall file sorting systems do not occupy any floor space which will help save on the available space. Or over-door canvas bins to store small impulse items such as knick-knacks in bedrooms and bathrooms. If you can go up, go up anywhere you possibly can!

8. Organize Small Spaces Creatively  

Small and hidden spaces around your house that are suitable for storing items should not be overlooked. Walker storage shelves, rolling drawer units, deep shelves, and hanging wall units are perfect for small dark corners such as under a stairway or in the utility room. The simplest of tension rods with clips at the end to hold clothes hangers can be installed even in the cupboard doors to increase storage space. Little areas can equal big rooms when appropriately employed.

Key Takeaways

Although managing all the accumulated papers and things may seem overwhelming, increasing the space does not have to be very complicated. Here, one can suggest digital structures, cloud backups, repurposed furniture and furniture arrangement, and space optimization for efficient storage overhaul. The same applies to simplifying as having too many things that are not needed is also overwhelming. You can now follow the tips that are best suited to your lifestyle and the space available to you and get back the order in your home without having a splitting headache.
