Phone's telling me I"m out of storage space and that I need to delete files or the phone may stop working properly.
Phone's telling me I"m out of storage space and that I need to delete files or the phone may stop working properly. So, I delete a couple gigs worth of things just to be sure. No bueno. Still the threat persists. So, I open my file manager and look at the internal memory ... it says I'm using 1.26GB of 32GB.
Well, that can't be right.
One app that I know has a bunch of large files on it won't show me the files so I can transfer them to the cloud. Their website says they "hide" the files so no one else can access them if the phone is lost, etc. Well, that's hunky-dory, but I have a space-issue here.
So, I go through the app (as opposed to file explorer) thinking I'll move the content one at a time. Suddenly, after two, the app I'm moving it to says those files types are not allowed.
Seriously? They're .WAV files! Going to Box.net where I have the "most" cloud storage available (about 50GB).
This is frustrating.

I've been recording on my phone using the Parrot app, which is a great app, but each recording is 35 - 55 minutes, so 200mb - 300mb of space. And, apparently Parrot "hides" those files from discovery except through the Parrot app. And I can't batch upload. Gah!
I was thinking of uploading them all to Soundcloud or something but can't find if SC has a file size limit. Going through their FAQs now.
I'm at a wifi hotspot and was able to upload gigsupon gigs of audio files fairly quickly. At home, where CenturyLink is the only provider, it would have taken days or even weeks.

They say they are "hidden" files outside of the app. I found the location and see zero files, even on a rooted phone/file browser. ADB shows the folder as empty also. The 'how are they doing that' is gonna drive me bonkers. 😀
You saw this, right?
Internal Storage: Located in a private folder within your device storage. This folder cannot be accessed by any apps except Parrot. This folder prevents access from unwanted parties such as malicious apps or other users on your device. Typically files in this folder are located at /data/data/com.SearingMedia.Parrott/files/parrot/.
