Streaming Device Storage Planner

Most streaming sticks have far less usable storage than the box suggests. Add up what you plan to install and see how much room is left, before you run out.

Fire TV Stick · 5 GB usable Streaming apps Utilities Games APKs Only 0.2 GB free · device will slow down APK files deleted · 1.4 GB free ✓ Plan your apps before you run outlivenettv.mn
each app you add takes a slice of the usable space; keep at least 1 GB free so the device stays fast.

Why "8 GB" is really about 5 GB

The storage on the box includes space taken by the operating system and Amazon's or Google's own apps. On an 8 GB Fire TV Stick, that leaves roughly 5 GB for you. On the 8 GB Chromecast with Google TV, it is closer to 4.5 GB. The planner uses these usable figures, not the number on the box.

Typical sizes used

ItemTypical size, including data and cache
Streaming appabout 350 MB
Small utility app (file manager, Downloader)about 50 MB
Gameabout 600 MB
Leftover APK fileabout 40 MB

Real sizes vary. Some streaming apps grow to well over 500 MB once their cache fills, so treat the result as a guide and leave headroom. If your device is already full, start with our guide to freeing up storage, and see the streaming device finder if it is time for something bigger.
