question

I only have 8gb in my phone, but i have a 32gb SD card. Can NewsBlur use that to store content? How do i tell it to do so?

that’s a bit of a cop out, to be honest. Many other apps allow you to select where the app is installed, and whether to use the system cache or another cache folder. As it stands, newsblur uses 2GB of storage on my device, and i can’t move it to the SD card.

ojiikun, could we move image storage to SD and story storage to flash? Stories need to be on the primary drive for reasons of speed (afaik). But images might not have to be. Is this an easy change?

Like all nice-to-have features, if this support ticket gets the votes (and comments), then we can bump it up. At the moment Android has a number of higher priority tickets, but sometimes these smaller features get picked up.

i have about 6k unread items, most of them have at least one image. I tend to store them up until i’m going on a long journey without internet access and “feast” off them for a few hours. good discussion, thanks. I have version 4.2.0b1 if that helps. see attached.

but 64% are using an OS that can move cache to removable storage :slight_smile:

I think some users would like the option - it’s certainly a common feature on other “caching” apps.

thanks for the interesting points about the challenges.
