Many people, when purchasing a iPhonehesitate between one capacity or another, however, with the 128 GB base storageis more than enough, as long as we have a way to back up that information and never fill it up.
Except in specific cases, of people who need to record many hours of video in a single day, no one should have a 1 TB iPhone, at least it is not the most recommended, not only because of a really excessive price, but because the information is not available. safe in him.
How to have 4 TB on an iPhone
Many will already know it, and others will have thought about it, and that is that the only way to have 4TB on an iPhone It is in the cloud, however, iCloud is very expensive, and paying for that storage would cost us more than purchasing a phone with more capacity, so what we are saying today would not make sense.
The way to do this, and the way I use, is via a NASa physical device that you can have in your home connected to the internet and that will do the same as iCloud, but without paying anything month by month, but you will be the owner of that server and space, which, in the past, could have limitations, but which, today, as we will see in the following screenshot, syncs perfectly with your iPhone.
As we can see, we will have a new section inside the file explorer of your iPhone (it will depend on the brand of NAS we buy, in my case Synology). Within this we can see all the files in the cloud, just as if we clicked on iCloud.
The available space, as well as folders and files inside, will depend on the disk we buy, and may be 1 TB, 4 TB, or even 16 TB or more. This will depend on your budget and whether you want it for yourself or to share.
From this moment, accessing files in the cloud is very simple, and we can both download or view them remotely, as well as upload images, documents, videos and more from the iPhone to it, to be able to make a copy of them and free up space on the iPhone itself, since, as we said, it will not only give us more storage and avoid having to buy one with a larger capacity, but we will have everything safely in the Physical NAS from our houseso if we lose the iPhone, we will not lose that TB of information that we did not have saved in iCloud because it was very expensive.
And you, are you one of those who prefers to have an iPhone with more capacity despite the risks and money that this entails, or are you one of mine, and a NAS is the best option for you? The truth is that I didn’t know it was something so comfortable, and that it integrated so well with the iPhone. Since that day, I use my own space and I do not pay for it, nor do I leave my information in the hands of other servers, and I can also access it physically, in case something happens with the Internet.
