Should I use the storage card as removable or internal storage?

Use your storage card as removable storage when there's already content such as your media and other files so that you don't lose these content. If you have a brand new storage card, choose whether to use it as removable storage or set it up as an extension of the internal storage.

Removable storage

Use a new storage card as removable storage to be able to insert and use the card on HTC One M9 and other Android phones.

Internal storage

Set up a new storage card as internal storage for more privacy and secure use. This encrypts and formats the storage card to work just like the internal storage.

This also expands the internal storage space since:
  • Captured screenshots, camera shots, media, and other files will be stored on the storage card.
  • Third-party apps that you installed and their data can be moved between the phone storage and storage card.
Warning: After setting up the storage card as internal storage, the card can only be used on HTC One M9 where it has been formatted.
