Choosing the right storage option for your app is important. You should consider the type of data you want to store and who should have access to the data. App-specific storage is best for files meant for your app’s use only. Shared storage is best for data that should be accessible to other apps even when your app is uninstalled. Scoped storage is the modern way to store and access files in Android. By understanding the different storage options, you can make informed data storage decisions. Good data storage practices provide more safety and privacy to your users. When making a decision on storage options, consider the following:
- The type of data you want to store.
- Who should have access to the data.
- The size of the data.
- The reliability of accessing the data.
