Increase Storage

[1814]

Is there a way to increase storage? I Phone you can use an attachment that goes in power cable slot that you can attach a thumb drive to.

You can always attach a thumb drive via OTG, but just as with an iPhone, it will only increase your storage for data, not your storage for app installation.

"OTG"?

"OTG"?

On the Go. It's the capability to plug in some devices (such as storage) to the USB port on the phone as you would with a computer.

The Quick Switch Adapter that came with the phone is also an OTG adapter: https://www.androidpolice.com/2016/...-can-migrate-data-another-ios-android-device/

I use this fairly frequently to move files/media to and from my PC to my Pixel 4a. I drop the files on a thumb drive on my PC, disconnect it, plug the thumb drive into the quick switch adapter (it's got a USB-A connector on one end, and USB-C on the other) then put it into my Pixel. Works like a charm every time.
