Storage size limitations?

[SKempin]

Proposal

I'm looking at file storage options using Expo and it seems that Async Storage is the only supported option. However it is documented that there is a 6MB limit on Android for this. I'm curious, how do native apps like Netflix/Spotify (for example) utilise hundreds of MB's of storage space? Is this not possible with Expo / React Native? I need to store around 50mb of JSON data.

Thanks

The 6MB comes from very old days, I don't know why exactly the 6MB limit was put in the first place. SQLite handles much much more than that. You could have increased by setting a property with desired storage size. However, I'm not familiar with Expo so I can't advise on how to set it there.
