I’ve been taking pics & vids with my smartphone for years but I’m tired of it telling me the memory is full. I want to have a dedicated camera that can upload to clouds, youtube, share via email, text etc. Anybody out there know about cameras?

    Thank you for that info. And I assure you I keep all my photos and videos deleted off my phone as soon as I edit them and upload them to a cloud or to my external hard drive, they are off my phone. I’m constantly cleaning out my phone storage and it is as bare bones as possible and I strongly suspect my phone is doing that “planned obsolescence” thing lately because I took one video yesterday and it wouldn’t let me edit it, it gave me an error message that said I need to free up 7 GB of memory on my phone and I’m like “SEVEN GIGS?! THAT’S RIDICULOUS!”

    This is the current state of my phone memory and storage availability:

      You are pretty low on storage space. I’m not sure if it’s the same on all Android versions, so you might have to look around, but if I go to Settings, then Storage it gives me a breakdown of what’s using the space (Apps, Videos, Images, and a bunch of other categories). That might give you a hint as to what’s using that 117Gb. If it’s Apps, tapping that line in the list takes you to a list of all your apps, showing how much space each is using. There may be something that you’re not using that you can uninstall.

        Yeah I’ve been chipping away at that process in between long work days & survival & exhaustion. There’s one particular folder in internal storage that is hard to access and hard to transfer to my external hard drive, so that’s on my to-do list.
