Android users always complain about low internal storage of smartphones when it comes to downloading games. Because the games are huge (approx 1 GB), so if you have 16 or 32 GB internal memory, you can install about 2 or 3 games max at a time. You can’t save all your data on 16 or 32 GB internal storage, but now there are SD cards but SD memory cards are very much expensive if you go for a big capacity SD card (128GB or 200GB) but you can check for an online coupon code to get discounts on your purchase.

Now there is one more option to extend your smartphone’s memory, and that is USB OTG flash drives. You can easily attach one of the OTG drives to your phone and transfer your data to it.

Not only memories but now you can also transfer your installed apps to a USB OTG drive and then run those apps (or install) to another smartphone by attaching the same USB OTG drive to it.

LetsGoApp App 2 SD or OTG (Root):

This is a really cool app to transfer your installed apps to any USB OTG drive and transfer apps to it. Not just moving, if you want to run those apps, just plug in the USB OTG drive (with saved apps) to your smartphone and run it from there only without any difficulty.
