97 Storage Making more storage space As you use HTC One mini, you'll accumulate data and fill its storage capacity over time. Here are some tips on how to increase storage space. Run the storage wizard Free up space in the phone storage by uninstalling apps and deleting files you no longer want to keep. In Settings, tap Storage > Make more space. Store files in Dropbox Photos, email attachments, and other documents can be stored in Dropbox and accessed anywhere you are. You can set the Camera app to automatically upload photos to Dropbox. Dropbox is a third-party app and is not provided by or associated with HTC Corporation. Manage photos and videos § Backup your photos and videos to your computer or online storage so you can retrieve them later. Then just keep your favorite photos and videos on HTC One mini. § After taking continuous camera shots, keep only the best shot and discard the rest. § After editing a photo or trimming a video, the original file is kept. You can delete original files or move them to online storage or to your computer. § If you are only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. Highresolution video takes up more space. In Camera settings, tap Video Quality to change the resolution. Back up apps data Keep only the most recent data from apps on HTC One mini. You can back up calendars, contacts, and bookmarks or export text messages, and personal dictionaries. Disable some apps Apps, even if not used often, may be running in the background and downloading data into the phone storage. If the app cannot be removed, you can disable it. In Settings, tap Apps and then swipe to All. Select the app you want to disable, and then tap Disable.
