I wonder if there is anything that can be safely deleted to increase the storage space of the nexus 8 or 16 models? Don't know if this has already been looked in to

People were looking into USB OTG but the nexus 4 doesn't support it (correct me if i'm wrong)
USB otg is not supported as stated above.
As its a nexus device there isn't 'bloatware' as such so you can't create space deleting that.
I'd say there not much, if anything, you can do to create space

I think some custom ROMs use up less space, thus giving more usable space to the user

Great thanks for the info.
I opted for the 32GB Kingston Wi-Drive. It works great.

It just has to be on the same WiFi network, I think. Networked storage.

Okay I tried to search the forum but it was giving me "token expired" errors even though I tried searching multiple times and even after reloading. So I'm sorry if this is a repost or has already been asked!
Anyway the Nexus 7 gives has 13gb of 16gb free for use. Is there anyway this can be further increased?

no. the reason for this is android takes up a bit of that space.
Nope no way. Its partitioned for the operating system. Just like we have 1GB of ram but only 900mbs is usable.

check out the storage space used on a new desktop or laptop pc as soon as you bought it.. You will see some of it taken up .. by windows there is also a Recovery partition (often hidden from user ) as well as a cache partition boot partition and partition tables also take up space on the storage disk.
This device was designed to use cloud base storage .I for one think its a great idea.. But i would love for some of the games to be able to play across OTG ...
Thank you for all your replies. I guess I'll be relying on OTG for my games and movies then. Already ordered the cable bought the app

32GB Nexus 7 Storage Space on Arrival
Guys,
I fully realise that on arrival (new) that the N7 will have a certain amount of storage used for the OS, Installed App's etc. Roughly how much should this be? I received my 32GB N7 yesterday and on looking at available storage it was 27.63 GB so effectively 4.5GB used. Is this normal as it seems a lot for the ROM and few apps!
AW: 13gb of 16gb free.

Quick primer in storage...
Manufacturers and operating systems use two different, but both technically correct, methods of calculating storage capacity. 32GB translates to roughly 29.8GB a far as the software is concerned. As such, you've overestimated the storage used by the system files by over 2GB.

32gb is actually about 29.5 so that seems normal.

It is simply due to the fact that there are two different methods of measuring storage capacity. Hard drive manufacturers report a gigabyte as one billion bytes. Software, on the other hand, uses a binary system to measure capacity and reports 1,073,741,824 bytes as one gigabyte. As such, a completely empty 16GB drive is going to only show as roughly 14.8GB.

Its the same on every electronic as previous poster explained. My 32GB iPod touch has somewhere around 28GB available, 32GB Zune HD has around 28GB, 32GB micro SD card has some 28-29GB available, and we won't even mention how much is "missing" from my laptops 500GB HDD.

So this is my first Nexus and my first smartphone where I don't have expandable memory. While I love the phone I'm sure most people including myself wish there was at least a 32gb model. Regardless there's not no sense in beating a dead horse. Just curious on how everyone's making due and what are your solution to the problem. I currently use Dropbox for pics and spotify and Google Music for music. It's working okay so far but apps aren't small these days so they take up some space

My solution was to order a PQI Air Drive and put my 64gb microsd card in it, works like a charm. Was lucky enough to snag one on groupon for 50 bux which came with a 32gb card already.

Why keep so many backups? I used to keep 2 but I never reverted back to anything except the most recent one. Now I don't even bother with nandroids.

I have a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus 16GB and I have at least 10 GB free. I would have got 8GB but we only have 16GB version.
I use it for Web browsing, some music and games.
I agree those who have a lot of media files on their phones will face problems. But an OTG cable will solve the issue.

Just fine, I would have liked the 16gb but it wasn't available so I've made due with the 8gb and it hasn't been much of an issue.

no reason to keep backups on your phone at all. store them on your pc or backup drive. should something happen you can always push it to your phone, either manually via abd (push file /sdcard/) or nexus toolkit comfortably.
The space has not effected me very much at all. Compared to my 8 GB iPod Touch my 16 GB Nexus 4 is a luxury.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
about 2gb free on the 8Gb version... I'll admit its a bit annoying at times, but overall not really an issue. The Google music, drive and box account for cloud storage basically take care of everything.
The saving grace is google music.. (did the hack to get it working in canada etc..) without that 8Gb would just not be enough at all.
4.2 gb
My last phone was a gs3 and I had a 32gb sd card in it. It being hooked up to sprint I personally couldn't rely I cloud services like I do now my service was that bad, and mind you I live in NY. having switched to A&tt is a lot better . I guess it just a little weird to look at my phone and only see 5gbs free.

16GB doesn't mean you actually get 16GB of storage there are always a couple taken up by the OS that you can't access. There's a reason for it that I just cant jog my memory to remember right now. It's the same with any type of storage, a 500 GB pc hard drive drive isn't 500 GB there's a small amount reserved that you can't access, there's a name for it I just can't remember what it is (boot partition?). Not sure if you can recover them using a custom ROM like CM or not as I am happy with stock android.
Well its called a boot partition on anything with an OS yes but an external hard drive and its space is down to the actual number of GBs. So 1gb is actually 1024 MBs so 2GB is actually 2048 MBs and so on.

Thanks for a reply but I don't think that's it in this case. I have the 8GB version and that should give me 5.7 usable. Look in the right top corner of my screenshot.
I've recovered about 400MB before that by moving a TWRP backup which somehow got placed in a word location. Can anyone install this app and tell me if they have a similar square of unrecognized space?

Not sure why there would be a need for 64gb internal storage option when sd card can expand to 128gb as well as the fact most people have free cloud storage of many gig as well
only 24GB

As far as I know you can't move apps to SD card
That`s the reason I didnt buy yet Note 4. The internal storage is too little for this flagship.
No one`s know if will be in the next 2-3 months a 64GB ?? More I cannot wait.
The 64gig models are usually very rare because Samsung takes its sweet time to release them and when they do, its in very little quantity. If you are desperate to load 10+ huge games on your device, just move everything else to the microSD and commit your internal just for these apps. 32GB is enough really...
Maybe for you, the internal storage is used better for 4k recording, with microSD it lags sometimes (or when I modify [they are some hacks already] the bitrate to higher I dont want to think what can happen to a microSD)

All galaxy tabs come with 16 or 32 gigabytes internal storage. Not sure if you have to much stored. Check your settings or hook up to your computer, go to my computer and right click on your tablet and go to properties and it will tell you how much space is available.

The 7" model comes in 8GB of Storage. So it is quite likely that the 4.85GB is all he has and the rest is for the system.
You should into a micro sd card
