Where are the photos on your phone stored?

Hahaha, this question, I personally feel that there are many ways to save these photos. Although my mobile phone has just experienced an involuntary "double clear", the important photos are still saved.

1. Save directly to your phone

This is definitely the most convenient. Once you take the photos, you can directly save them to your phone and it is convenient to view them at any time. But the memory of the mobile phone may cry. There is also the risk of deleting photos when clearing the phone’s memory.

2. Store on computer

You can copy and paste the photos to your phone to make a backup. In this way, if there is no problem with the computer, there will be no problem with the photos, but it will be inconvenient when you want to view them.

3. Store in QQ space

Well, this method personally feels good. Anyway, the photos on the mobile phone can be directly uploaded to QQ space. If you want to view them, you can directly You can view it by entering the QQ space photo album. And if you don’t want other people to view the photos, just encrypt them directly.

4. Local backup

Many mobile phones now have backup functions, such as Huawei, Xiaomi, and iCloud for iPhone. So you can directly back up to the cloud, and then process it on your phone to clear out space.

5. Baidu Cloud

Baidu Cloud is also a backup tool I use. It is also available on the computer and mobile phones. You can synchronize it by logging in to your account. So just back up the photos on your phone and save them to your phone when needed.

6. Mobile hard disk

People with mobile hard disks can use this. After all, the space capacity of the mobile hard drive is quite large, so there is no problem in saving the photos on the mobile phone. It's a bit similar to computer backup, but the mobile hard drive can be taken away haha.

Of course, if the photos on your phone are accidentally deleted, they can be retrieved with the help of third-party recovery tools. But you need to deal with it as early as possible, don't wait until it is overwritten and cannot be retrieved.

My iPhone 6s 64G has 13G left, and the photos take up more than 20G. I am in tears

Click on the phone settings > General > Find the storage space and iCloud usage >Click Manage Storage Space and you can clearly see how much memory each application takes up.

In fact, even if you don’t check it, you will know that the first one must be the photo album. Because everyone has higher and higher requirements for photo quality, each photo is getting larger and larger, usually around 2M-4M. Who doesn’t have thousands of photos on their phone these days? Girls love to take selfies, and there are quite a few otaku babies too.

But I was reluctant to delete it, and I found it very troublesome if I had to transfer it to the computer regularly. Later, I discovered that there was an iPhone USB flash drive, and after comparing it, I chose the more reliable digital accessory. The domestic brand Lulian.

When you plug in the USB flash drive for the first time, a prompt to download the supporting APP will automatically pop up. You can use it after installation. After entering the APP, you can transfer photos to the USB flash drive in batches. You can view or interact with them. When friends share photos, you can view them right away and share them directly to your circle of friends. You can also save it directly to the USB flash drive when taking pictures with your mobile phone.

This USB flash drive can also be used on computers, especially since I don’t like to use iTunes. It can realize fast and convenient data transfer between mobile phones and computers. For those who love photography, using a USB flash drive to transfer pictures between mobile phones and computers should reduce damage to pictures~

In the APP page, you can also directly open the file in the USB flash drive. Video, music and other files. You can also create folders, categorize files for quick search, process files in batches, and more.

Watching videos is very convenient. It does not require data traffic and does not occupy the storage memory of your phone. You can just plug it in and watch it when you are bored.

The ability to encrypt folders should be the biggest feature of this USB flash drive. After turning on password or fingerprint encryption protection in the settings, password or fingerprint verification is required when entering the APP. In addition, you can also encrypt the selected folder. Even if you open the USB flash drive with a computer, the encrypted documents will be hidden on the computer, so if unfortunately the USB flash drive is picked up by someone else, your privacy will not be leaked. Veteran drivers laughed...

Supported audio, video, picture and other file formats

For audio and video, we have tried several more mainstream formats such as mov, mp4, avi, and flv. Direct playback is no problem. In terms of pictures, jpg and png formats can also be viewed directly. As for the gif format itself, the iPhone does not support it, so don’t even think about it. Commonly used files such as mp3, pdf, and doc can be opened directly.

Power consumption

There is no abnormal power loss when using a USB flash drive on the mobile phone. The power consumption of watching videos with a USB flash drive plugged in is similar to that of watching videos on a normal mobile phone.

Has anyone used the same method as me?

All the photos in my mobile phone are stored in my mobile phone [face covering]

When I was a student, I mainly saved them on my computer, U disk, and space, and occasionally saved some on Baidu cloud disk. .

Nowadays, there are mainly hard drives and USB flash drives. After all, computers will be replaced every few years, and there is also a fear that the computer will suddenly have problems one day, so it will be very dangerous if the photos stored in them are not backed up.

Save the space, it is actually very useless, because the photos saved are not original images, the pixels are very bad, and if you want to back up the photos from the space in the future, then you have to do it manually one by one, then It’s really too useless, so I almost don’t post photos in the space now.

As for storing network disks, after all, it is someone else’s warehouse, and you are not sure when they will take back the site or when they will charge, so you usually use a USB flash drive to store it.

However, if there are thousands of photos, the USB flash drive cannot save many, so I later bought a special hard drive. However, the hard drive is not used often, and the inventory in the computer is usually transferred to it every two or three years. So now I am still using U disk, but it is a mobile phone U disk. This kind of U disk can have two interfaces. One side of the interface can be directly plugged into the mobile phone, and then the photos on the phone can be copied. The other side can be plugged into the computer handle and the U disk can be Copy the photos from the disk to your computer.

I am using a Redmi phone, and the 16GB memory is simply not enough, and I can’t bear to delete the previous photos, so every time I take a photo, it always prompts that there is insufficient memory. I really couldn’t afford to be hurt, because my phone was still hot and I didn’t want to change my phone, so I used Greenline’s mobile USB flash drive to save it.

Now I usually use the USB flash drive on my mobile phone to store photos for a year, and then transfer them to the hard drive or computer when the storage is full. Anyway, I don’t recommend storing personal photos in public places, such as Weibo and WeChat, because others may steal your photos for WeChat business. That's really not worth the gain.

I usually go out to see the scenery more often, so I want to collect all the beautiful scenery I see. I can take it out to enjoy it by myself in the future, or show it off in the circle of friends [big laugh]!

Then I will capture these photos with my camera first. After I get home, I will delete the memorable scenery and food, add the dates and put them in the QQ photo album. I can go there when I want to use them. Just open it!

Later, I found that the space in my mobile phone showed that there was not enough storage space. I was a little panicked. I asked my son for help. He asked me to put it directly in the storage of my computer through a USB flash drive. I can use it whenever I need it. It’s very convenient to take it out. The conditions now are really good and the technology content is too high. For those of us who were born in the 1970s, we had a few rare photos when we were young. Now we can take photos and photos all the time. Video, something I couldn’t even think of in the past!

I remember that when I was a child, all the photos were black and white. Over time, they would turn yellow and moldy. I would often take them out to dry, and they were like treasures. Later, when the conditions improved, and I had color photos, it was like discovering a new world, and the birth of my son. From the time I took photos, until I was about ten years old, the photo albums that recorded the photos were five big and thick, and they were very heavy to hold! Now when I have nothing to do, I still remember to read it! I didn’t expect it to be so convenient and fast now. What I like the most is the photo and beauty function. Every woman has narcissistic feelings, but time is not forgiving. I feel disgusted when taking normal photos. The beauty camera is really super powerful. Let me travel directly through time and space back to the most beautiful years of my life! Appreciate the charm and grace of your youth for yourself! Friends, do you feel the same way?

Baidu network disk, instant photo album, qq space. There are many cloud spaces now, and I mainly focus on the above three. Nowadays, the memory of mobile phones is getting larger and larger. From the previous 16g, 32, 64, 128, and 256g, it feels like it is not enough. Some of the photos and videos taken are reluctant to be deleted. If it is a photo, I think it is better to put it in QQ space. You can search it through the timeline, which is more convenient. If it is a video, QQ space is not very good because only members can upload high-definition videos (original video) , the videos uploaded by ordinary users are not very clear, so the videos are basically placed in Momo Album and Baidu Netdisk. From time to time, I look through old photos, and sometimes I want to laugh when I look at them [baring my teeth] (how could I do this kind of action before); < /p>

If the number of photos is small, just save them directly on your phone.

If you have a large amount of photos and the storage space on your mobile phone is tight, then filter them regularly and save the ones with commemorative value on your computer, and the ones you need to use frequently on your phone.

There are too many photos. They used to be stored on the computer’s D drive, but later the computer couldn’t open them. Finally, put the photos worth saving in Q space so that you can view them when needed.

Personal photo storage locations: 1. Mobile phone memory 2. Computer 3. Mobile hard drive.

Some of you may also directly save the network disk to the cloud disk, because all brands of mobile phones will have cloud backup, but I do not recommend this.

For the photos I usually take, especially when traveling or taking a lot of photos together, I usually choose to export them and save them on my computer or mobile hard drive.

Of course, I will leave some on my phone, such as photos of family members I particularly like or photos of particularly beautiful scenery, as well as some photos that may be used at work. It's okay, just look through it to find it easily.

Nowadays, mobile phone memory is sufficient, usually 128G or 256G, and larger ones have 512G. It’s no problem to save thousands of photos. As mobile phone functions continue to become more powerful and programs occupy more space, the memory of mobile phones will become larger and larger in the future.

I have a habit of categorizing and creating folders based on date and time on my computer. Basically I sort out the photos on my phone every half a month and save them on my computer.

In about two months, I will back up the computer files to the mobile hard drive.

For people like me who like to take pictures, I take various photos almost every day. Although I will filter and delete them after taking them, over a long period of time, I still take too many photos. ~

I silently took a look at the photo album on my phone. There were about 30 photo albums and more than 25,000 photos... The most terrifying thing is that these pictures actually occupied about 14GB of storage space on my phone!

Did you never expect it?

Hurry up and enter the file management-internal storage of your phone to see how much memory space the photos in your album occupy on your phone?

So here comes the problem. There are too many photos on the phone and they occupy too much memory. However, every photo has been carefully selected and cannot be deleted. What should I do?

Some mobile phones do not support SD card expansion at all. Even if some mobile phones support it, if you use an old memory card, the mobile phone will prompt you when using it, "Low-performance SD card will affect the overall mobile phone." Performance", so use it with caution in this case.

Then there is no way?

Of course not, a simpler and faster method:

However, it should be noted that this method requires the mobile phone to support OTG function. Most mobile phones now support it, so you don’t have to worry too much.

Then let me talk about two methods on how to connect a mobile phone to a USB flash drive, with detailed steps attached later.

Method 1:

If you use an ordinary USB flash drive

you can connect it with an OTG data cable.

Many people should know that OTG cable is a kind of connection cable that can directly connect a mobile phone and a USB flash drive without a computer, and then the mobile phone can directly read and copy the data in the USB flash drive.

Of course, at this time, the photos in the mobile phone can also be easily copied to the USB flash drive, freeing up more memory space on the phone and allowing the old USB flash drive to be reused.

This kind of OTG cable is very cheap, about 10 yuan with free shipping. Probably the cheapest and easiest way.

Of course, you can also use OTG HUB to connect a USB flash drive:

This type of converter is actually similar to an OTG cable, just choose one with OTG function.

The most convenient thing is that you can use your phone as a computer through OTG HUB. At this time, it is so easy to connect the USB flash drive and copy the photos on the phone to the USB flash drive~

After connecting the mobile phone and the USB flash drive at the same time, the mobile phone can directly read the USB flash drive data. If you insert multiple U disks and mobile hard disks at the same time, you can also copy data to each other at the same time. However, because mobile hard drives generally consume relatively high power, it is recommended to choose an OTG HUB with a power supply interface so that it can be connected to the power supply in case of insufficient power supply.

Of course, using this converter, you can also plug in a mouse and keyboard at the same time. At this time, the audio and video from the mobile phone to the USB flash drive is the same as the operation on the computer.

Method 2:

If you use a mobile phone U disk

If you have this new type of mobile phone U disk, it is even simpler.

This kind of mobile phone USB flash drive can be directly plugged into the mobile phone, and can be used on both mobile phones and computers (because the other end is an ordinary USB port and can be plugged into the computer and used as an ordinary USB flash drive). Then the mobile phone can view the photos in the USB flash drive and play the videos in the USB flash drive at any time. At this time, it takes only a few minutes to copy the photos in the mobile phone album to the USB flash drive.

In addition to Type-c interface USB flash drives, there are other Micro USB port Android USB flash drives and Apple USB flash drives on the market. Their functions and usage are the same, but the interfaces plugged into the mobile phone are different. You can choose according to your own mobile phone interface.

Specific steps

After talking about the method, let’s talk about the specific steps.

Because the operation of ordinary U disk and mobile phone U disk is almost the same, but there may be slight differences between different mobile phones, so I will take my P9 to connect an ordinary U disk through OTG as an example to explain the detailed steps. . For reference only.

I have tried several other Xiaomi and Honor series phones with OTG functions, and they all work.

The first step

After inserting the USB flash drive into the mobile phone, enter the file management and you can see the USB flash drive files. The Kingstong U disk on the right here is the ordinary U disk file inserted.

Step 2

Open the photo album on your phone and select the photos you want to transfer to the USB flash drive. It can select all or part of it. After selecting the pictures to be transferred, a copy and move button will appear below.

You can choose to copy or move to transfer according to your personal habits. If you copy, it will still be on your phone. If you move it, the photos on your phone will be moved directly to the USB flash drive and will no longer be on your phone.

Step 3

After copying or moving, the phone will prompt you to select a local folder. Then return to the folder and select the USB disk folder you just inserted. That's it.

Step 4

Note that after selecting the U disk folder, you will enter the folder, and the new folder and paste buttons will also appear below the phone.

You can create a new folder to store the copied pictures, or you can paste them directly. We just click paste here.

So you can see that the two pictures on the phone have been transferred to the USB flash drive.

Isn’t it very simple and convenient? In this way, you can transfer all the photos on your phone to a USB flash drive at once, freeing up more memory space on your phone, and no longer have to worry about insufficient memory on your phone.

When you want to view photos, it is more convenient to plug the USB flash drive directly into your mobile phone and view them at any time and upload them to the Internet at any time.

Of course, everyone may use it differently. For example, I often see people saying that they can upload QQ space or other cloud photo albums. Anyway, just feel like you like it~
