I keep getting to my storage limit on my phone and have to save off photos to my computer, but I love having photos on my phone of when M was really small to look back at. Next time I'm getting a phone with more storage for sure!
How often do you take photos off your phone? Do you just take them all off or go through and take off just some?

I never used to, then my phone crashed and I lost atleast 200 photos of my lo from birth to four months 
now I have my.phi.e to automatically upload all pics to google plus and empty as I need to.

I empty every few weeks bc I run out of space! I take tons of pictures and videos.
I also have more peace of mind when they are safely stored and backed up on the computer.

Not as often as I should! I am struggling with keeping enough space open to keep taking photos of LO.

I try to download photos once a month or more. I usually keep a few of my favorites so that I can look back on them.

@Mrs. Stroller: Do you have a lot of music or apps? That seems crazy to me!
I have minimal apps and I only keep my "current" playlist downloaded on my phone (I use Amazon music, so my other music is in the cloud and I can stream it if I want, or download it to listen to it).

G is always making videos of his lego creations so my phone fills up REALLY quick (have the 16gb).
Currently I have:
894 photos
45 videos
95 apps
and 0 music on my phone (I use music unlimited to listen to stuff)
I have 859 mb of space so I'll probably clear it tonight before I get the message that I can't take a pic b/c there is no room! lol

OMG! I'm having this problem now. I should've gotten the iphone with more storage. I go on the computer and delete the blurry ones and some of the movies once a week. I have to see them big on the computer to really edit out the bad ones.

@Navy_Mommy: I seriously never thought I'd fill up the 16 like I do! I should've gotten the 32.. or next time I might even go for the 64! lol
blogger / nectarine / 2010 posts
@Navy_Mommy: nope, I had to get rid of my music and all the apps I don't use all the time. Gotta make room for more pics 
So ridiculous, but next time I'll get the 32g iPhone.

@runsyellowlites: there's a 64?! That's my next phone. Haha

@Mrs. Stroller: I don't have an iPhone, I have aGalaxy. The phone itself has 16, my card has 32. Lol.

@Mrs. Stroller: Yep!!! DH said that's what he wanted & I rolled my eyes at him, but now I'm considering it! lol
@Navy_Mommy: Even before G was doing them I was filling it up pretty fast.... I can store about 2k pics on it then I have to unload! lol

@Mrs. Stroller: I had this same problem with my iPhone. I have the "smallest" version (of gigs) but it still seemed insane - 10 pictures and a video, and oh we're full. um..no. I looked in itunes and it said most of my phone was "other" - but I couldn't for the life of me figure it out! I deleted EVERYTHING - all my apps, notes, texts, etc. I googled and found something that said to restore phone to factory settings. So I saved everything to my computer, backed my phone up, and tried it - and lo and behold, now it saves tons and tons and tons of photos and videos. Not sure what the heck was taking up SO much space..but it's a lot better now! it hasn't told me my phone was full once since I did that at the end of May.

I didn't think I'd fill up the 16gig either. I take a lot of pictures and video. I barely have apps and no music. I'm going to get the 64 next time. I prefer memory cards though. Internal storage is a pain.

I do once a week, I'm nervous about my phone breaking/getting stolen and didn't like the photosync app I tried that did it manually.

I don't delete them but back them up to Dropbox and Shutterfy often. Without Dropbox, I would have lost all of my pictures from my iPhone I lost in a cab.
kiwi / 673 posts
@cascademom: I do the same. My photos are auto backed up to drop box.
I also have an android phone that takes microSD cards, so I can always put in a bigger card and have plenty of space if I need it.

We just bought a 32gb microSD for our S4 because we ran out of space (the phone comes with 10gb).

I have a 64G iPhone and currently am almost at capacity at 8K photos/videos... Sounds like a lot, but my eldest is 5yo so i've been a crazy camera phone mom for a while now. i love keeping photos from her babyhood and toddlerhood on my phone. It backs up occasionally to my Mac, and almost everyday, onto iCloud. I double back-up holiday and special occasion photos to Dropbox too.

I do it monthly mostly to back them up just in case and remove ones I don't need. For easy access I use Dropbox for favorites so I can get the photos from both my laptop and phone any time.

I download everything onto my computer and I still have a hard time deleting photos off my phone. I probably delete a few every day. I have the hardest time deleting any of the ones on the day she was born!!
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
I haven't been prompted that I've reached capacity, but I recently starting moving all the photos off my phone onto my computer as a backup.
