my phone( HTC desire) has not enough storage now. But in fact i don’t know how to free up my phone’s storage. i’m afraid that i will clean up the useful files by mistake. So could you tell me the best way to fee up my phone’s storage?
Thanks in advance.
firstly, i think you can buy another storage card. maybe you can store more important files in your phone.
if you want to save money, i’d love to recommend a kind of android PC suite which i often use for you.
that’s MoboPlay. it can automatically free up your phone’s storage. it has unique feature named space(junk) cleaner. it includes two functions, APK Files Cleanup and Large Files Cleanup.
hope you have a try. Both are useful.

of course.
MoboPlay is a free mobile phone application, you can download from its offical website.MoboPlay you will know more from it.
after installing this PC suite, you can go to the “ToolBox” tab and select the option “Space Cleaner”. As soon as you do that, a popup window will appear with two tabs named, APK Files Cleanup and Large Files Cleanup.

}
It automatically scans through all the APK files to find and clear junk file. But if you want to free up more space, then try the large files cleanup.
then, you just simply click the “Large Files Cleanup” tab and hit the “Scan” button. It will scan your entire phone for large videos, images, unnecessary documents, etc. You can click the “Clean” button associated with each junk or large file to remove it instantly.
that’s all. very easy.

Ever been asked to recommend apps?
Anyone still recommending apps by providing a long long list of app names or links?
Anyone want to remember apps they like without writing it down onto a list?
Panels
A New Way To Share Apps!
Its extremely simple to use.
To Share Apps
1. Download and install Panels from this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.varience.panels
2. Go to the Add Apps Section and check the apps you want to add then press the + button. (You can also add apps directly from Play Store app)
3. Then go back to the Panel that you've added your apps
4. Press the export button to export out the panel as a file and then distribute it as you wish. There's a share button you can tap too.
To View Apps
1. Download and install Panels from this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.varience.panels
2. Download any Panel files that had been previously exported by other people and place it onto your device. Here's mine: http://goo.gl/O5eix
3. Open up Panels and press the Import button. If the file isn't found, press the refresh button to run a system-wide scan.
4. Browse through all the apps that is now shown.
5. Look at some screenshots, read the descriptions, read notes that other people wrote... and press Install if you want to download.
Extremely simple to use!
With Panels, you're able to quickly share apps of any amount and also have the benefit of keeping them as files to import back at any moment in time.
Another way to use Panels and that's to remember apps!
Ever had an app you really like, but seldomly use?
You feel like uninstalling it because it takes up space, but you don't want to forget about it.
So rather than writing down all these names and hoping you'll remember them in the future... you can just add the app to a Panel and then uninstall!
Apps that are on a panel remain on a panel even if the app isn't installed on your device.
So you can use Panels as a way to remember apps you like and as a quick way to always be able to install them back.

Warning
This is NOT a data backup app like Titanium Backup! It will not backup your data.
Its purpose is just to remember the app and be a better way to share apps.
Just imagine if this was also a data backup app and you've backed up like 12gb of data. Imagine what it would be like to send a 12gb file to share apps. Imagine their surprise when they install the app and say, "Why am I level 86??"
So yes, this is not a data backup app.

SDCard Watcher
Market Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.desaster.sdcardwatcher
Description / Reasoning
Anyone who installs a lot of apps will soon find their SDCard cluttered with strange directories that don't seem to relate to any app you know. You could just remove them all, but how do you know which directories are from apps you are still using, and might contain some important data?
Since the sdcard filesystem lacks ownership info, there's really no easy way of knowing which app to blame. This app is my approach to the problem.
Basically the app lets you monitor any chosen directory for changes, and when a new file or directory is created, it checks which app is currently visible to the user, and saves this information in a database. This way, next time some app leaves an obscure directory rotting on your sdcard, you will know exactly which app to blame.
Why should you care?
Actually, you probably shouldn't. The extra bits of data often don't take any significant space on your memory card. However, it irritates me, and this app gives me a bit more of a sense of control. The XDA forum is probably the best place for me to post this app, since I know there are at least a few other like-minded people here who care about tweaking little things like these
Battery usage
The app's background process uses the kernel's inotify feature to catch changes in the filesystem, and thus uses virtually no processing power, and will not drain your battery.
Reliability
There are essentially two ways for an app to run a background service; as a background service, and as a background service with a notification icon. My app supports both ways, but the default is to run without a notification icon.
I am still unsure if android lets the service run reliably enough without the notification icon, so if you think you're missing file changes, I'd love to hear about it. In any case, the notification icon can be enabled in the settings and should help with the issue (should there be an issue).

I've tried searching for a thread concerning my question but couldn't find one. I'm really surprised nobody brought this up. Or my searching skills are really messed up... in which case, I excuse myself.
What I want to do is to make some room in my sdcard by automatically uploading pictures, videos and files (if possible) to my Google Drive (or any other Cloud Storage Service) and delete them locally. Basically, making my cloud drive a truly virtual drive.
Has anyone tried/achieved such a thing?
Thanks.
Is this what you are looking for?

No, that way pics get backupped but won't be deleted locally (to free up space).

You're asking for functionality that is very hard to be implemented, even tho it sounds simple.
Basically there are no real viable ways to verify if a given file is not corrupted when uploaded to the cloud. At least not in a way that won't be creating singe huge overhead.
Anyway, if you find something that works, let us know, I'm also interested in such app/script/whatever.

I think I've partially achieved the goal by using DropBox. Unlike Google Drive, files aren't deleted from the cloud when they are deleted locally. But I have to manually delete files from the phone, since I haven't found a way to delete on upload. And, thought, this just works for pictures and videos, not for other files, that would have to be uploaded manually too.
I know that even when sounding simple it's not that easy to accomplish... but I believe Google made the Moto G with such a small storage capacity (to reduce costs too, I understand) to be complete with cloud storage, so...

Thanks for your question.
The app is developing in Windows and macOS. And Linux, we are going to plan for it someday.
Now, you can try the app on your phone. I love knowing your experience so tell me soon.
I posted about this before but found the screenshot I took when I changed my storage for videos to my SD card. There were only videos/photos on one day that became corrupted literally in front of my eyes. My question... where can I find the locations mentioned in this screenshot? It's like only part of the data was saved on the SD card... all Metadata missing and videos show all binary zeroes... yet the size is still reflected on the file....

Usually it is /storage/.../DCIM/... on either location, isn't it?
Does "details" of the video/picture (within gallery) tell you anything useful?

I'll try anything! Thank you! I tried several programs to restore based on data from other videos recorded and nothing worked so far.

No luck!
Forget it, it's lost for good. SD Cards are crap. Always. Not to mention inadequate filesystems.
Simply don't rely on them but for the future: Make sure to have a proper backup, for example:
