Formostofus,unlesswemanuallycheckthe

remainingcapacityfromtimetotime,storage–

whether on internal and/or external microSD cards

• tends to run out of space with little or no warning.
  Especially on budget device with only a 16GB or less
  memor y, it can end up being fi lled up pretty quickly,
  with no native A ndroid audit.
  With StorageTrac, you can keep tabs on this
  information. The app records fi le creation,
  modifi cation and deletion on the storage card and
  collects the data to present it in a chart.
  The result is an app that can show you how often
  your storage is accessed. This can prove useful for
  seeing how much storage is being used, and how
  long an external microSD card might last.

To reduce StorageTrac’s load on your

device, use the ‘Delete history...’ option in the

Settings menu. Four options – Now!, Week, Month

and Year – can be selected; tap OK to confi rm.

Once cleared, tracking logs cannot be restored.

Based on what info you want to collect over

a specific period, you should also set an Update

Interval. This can be anything from 15 minutes to

24 hours. By knowing what the interval is, shown

on the chart, collected data makes more sense.

StorageTrac features a search tool to track

the activity of particular fi le types. For instance, to

check how many JPEG images are saved to your

device, tap Search and enter ‘jpeg’ in the box. The

results show where the fi les can be found.

The main screen features the plotted chart

based on the amount of data you add and remove

from your internal storage. StorageTrac works with

your SD card, too. Use the Day/Week/Month/Year

menu in the top left to change the view.

To find out just what is being recorded, and
when, tap the chart to view info about the period

Works with » Android 4.0 and up

StorageTrac need permission to track your
SD card storage status. Open the app, tap Menu >
Settings and then Enable Tracking. Once enabled,
you’ll need to be using the app for a few days – a
few hours at least – to get the best results from it.
