If your handset or tablet is relying on an SD card to give you enough space for data and apps, then understanding which file/folder/app is using your SD card space more is very useful. Instead of checking manually there is one simple app that can make it easy to check your SD card storage. Using ‘SD card storage optimizer’ you can take a look at your SD card and then compress, delete, copy …. basically manage what’s on it..

The SD card storage optimizer app is free on Android Market.

You can even bookmark frequently used files and create a bookmark folder using the app in the same way that you use a bookmark manager in your browser.



When you run the app you’ll be shown a list that shows the File Explorer, Storage Reports, and Bookmark Manager, etc.

Go to ‘File Explorer’to see the list of files and folders on your SD card. This will show you an SD card Storage bar with information on the total used space and free space.





If you want to see the files and folders sorted by size, go to ‘Storage Reports’. Click on any file or folder to open it and it will show you how much space each of the files consume.



An odd sort of extra feature is that it has a built in Juke Box which can play songs while you’re using the app and even if you closed the app.





There is also an ‘FTP Upload Manager’.

If you’re SD card is running dangerously low on space then this is a great app to use to sort it out. On a final note, the navigation system on this app is well thought out. With so many apps you have to press ‘back’ again and again; instead you simply press the ‘Close’ option that’comes on every page you open.
