This is honestly the first time I’ve seen pretty much anything about it.

    You can always delete it later to free up space

    You underestimate my laziness. I’ll just rsync to a bigger and bigger drive each time.

    For example, my phone’s SD card currently stores some 12,754 files totalling 244.5GB. I really want a 1TB card. Storage is magic. The files always adjust to the media size.

    I just always rsync everything over to a new card. And also copy the partition UUID because I don’t remember which apps use it, plus I likely have a bunch of symlinks in Termux that would break. Oh, yes, Termux I copy over in the same manner of course.
    I mean, I probably pointed them to ~/storage/card symlink, but I am not sure.

    I did have to delete a bunch of stuff already though, DVD ISO files and baseband satellite signal recordings to replace them with Wikipedia and other zim files.
    Preferably, I’d have all files on every device. That’s the dream.

      We’re emulating that with a home server and a VPN to reach it when we’re out of the house. Though, thanks to the magic of storage, it’s been at 90% for a while…
