Title: Expo / React Native storage limitations
Tags: react-native;expo;asyncstorage
Question: 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.


Here is another answer: look at this
Expo File System
(saving files in this way is not so secure and maybe can be read by user. but you can save large files with it)
