Smartphones allow you to always have a camera with you. We can capture moments we never could before and as a result, we are taking up to thousands of pictures a year and keeping them in our phone storage. By the end of 2016, it is estimated over 1,138 trillion photos will be taken this year. In 2013, total photos equaled 664 billion…and the number continues to compound by 16.2% each year!

It is also estimated that by the end of next year, nearly 80% of all photos will be taken with a mobile phone. Do you have enough space on your phone to handle your photo hobby?
Fortunately, there are ways to expand your phone storage without needing to upgrade to a more expensive higher storage capacity phone.
Phone Storage Options by SanDisk
We have covered storage options by SanDisk before. For Apple devices, we looked at the iXpand Flash Drive and for multiple platform devices, we reviewed the Connect Wireless Media Drive.
SanDisk feels the pain of the lack of storage we are all suffering with, they are phone photo takers too. This is what pushes them to continue to innovate to relieve this phone storage pain. And as great as these two products above are, SanDisk have made these types of products even better.
SanDisk recently come out with three products that expand your phone storage, giving you the flexibility to take as many pictures as you like without sacrificing space on your phone storage drive.
The first product, the Ultra microSDXC UHS-1 Card, is an internal storage option – for those phones that allow you to increase your phone storage with a micro SDXC card.
The second and third products are external storage solutions, allowing you to connect to them either directly, as in the case of the SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive 3.0 or wirelessly with the Connect™ Wireless Stick.
SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-1 Card (Internal Storage)
Dramatically increase your phone storage or tablet storage with this 200GB microSDXC card. You will no longer need to go through your old pictures and delete some so you can take new pics. With this SanDisk Ultra microSDXC, you will always have plenty of room for pictures, music, videos, and files.
So just how much can this card hold? Up to 20 hours of HD video! That’s a lot of video!
And this card is fast too, promising speeds up to 90 MB/seconds on transfer speed, eliminating delays and shuttering. And of course, there’s an app for this. The SanDisk Memory Zone app on Google Play allows you to easily view, store, and make a back-up of your files located in your phone storage. You can even have your pics automatically transferred to your memory card so your phone storage is always open.
Lastly, this card comes with a MicroSD adapter so you can move files easily from other SD compatible devices like your digital cameras and computers.
The SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-1 Card is available right now at an incredible price of $109 plus free shipping at Amazon. But hurry, this price won’t last!

200GB SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick
I am most excited by the 200GB SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick. It’s nearly platform agnostic, which means you can use it with your Android, Amazon, and Apple devices (not currently on Windows phones)! In fact, there’s never a need to plug it into any device (except for charging it) in order to share movies, pictures, music, and files between the Connect Wireless Stick and your devices. Just turn on the Connect Wireless Stick and find it in your devices’ WiFi settings, connect, download the app, and you can begin sharing files right away!
It doesn’t matter if the Connect Wireless Stick is on the table, in your pocket, or across the room, you can still access, view, and transfer files back and forth wirelessly! It will most likely work even if you are in the Den and your Connect Wireless Stick is in the kitchen!
Sharing pictures with others is easy, multiple devices can connect to the Connect Wireless Stick at once. Instantly share photos and videos during the event with others – let them choose which pics they want. You’ll be the life of the party!
Going on a road trip? Take the Connect Wireless Stick with you and stream your favorite music, pictures, or videos with up to 3 devices at one time. Your kids can watch the same movie together or different movies at the same time…all off on Connect Wireless Stick.
Transfer files off your phone storage so you have more room on your phone for more pictures. Then, instantly share them with others. Though note, to view and share photos, videos, music, etc., you need to have the SanDisk Connect Drive app (Apple, Android) on your phone.
Using the SanDisk Connect app, you can transfer files from your device to the Connect Wireless Stick and back. And I love the fact that you can even stream the Stick to your Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, and 3D Touch. You can instantly show everyone in the family or guests in your home pictures taken from you phone. Slick!
Without a doubt, you’re going to want the 200GB Connect Wireless Stick, but SanDisk also offers it in a 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB at a lower cost. The 200GB SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick sells for $119.99 plus free shipping at Amazon.
