Storage Analyser · Reading, United Kingdom
What it is
Storage Analyser is an Android app for finding where space is used on a phone or tablet and managing files. It lists available storage devices and can show total, used, and available capacity in a pie chart. Users can drill into folders to see the share of storage taken by each file or subfolder, then select files and folders to delete, copy, cut, or move between storage locations. Where device access allows, it can scan external storage such as SD cards, thumb drives, and hard drives. The free plan is free and contains ads. Pro adds scans of installed apps and their storage use, including installed size, data, and cache; Android requires Usage Access for that scan. By default, the app cannot inspect private app file contents. On rooted devices, users can enable root access to reach all folders, while root write access is off by default. The app may ask permission to access a storage device before scanning or modifying files. Its maker is Storage Analyser, based in Reading, United Kingdom. The Google Play listing notes performance issues when deleting and modifying files on some devices.
