I have my entire pictures, video, S Note, OneNote and work files SYNCED and updated all the time AUTOMATICALLY - they're in my laptop's spare HDD, and need not worry if my Note gets lost.
I have UNLIMITED LTE data service. I do not have to manually transfer files. There's no real point in getting a high-end device if you don't have the proper mobile service without worries. I'm out most of the time, and the unlimited LTE data service is especially fantastic, and even faster than the home-based broadband.
Being on LTE all the time with downloading and syncing practically everything takes more power and storage space. I don't go cheap on services, and I don't go for something as half-baked as the Note.5 that is a far cry with my Note 3 with power management (sealed battery) and memory storage (26 GB user storage) for 32 GB model being sold to most countries. Too silly that the Note.5 designed for underpowered users.

AnonD-77443, 30 Nov 20151) that's a lot of effort that could be greatly reduced with more phone storage or an SD card.... more1) The thing that you are calling "Lots of effort" is something i normally do once in a month or two. So trust me its not.
If u noticed i also mentioned that i do have more than 30gb's and i cud easily keep all those things in my phone but i do not like to keep it cause there is lots of stuff which is old but its still important to me i.e i keep it as a backup cause if for some reason i loose my phone i wont have to worry abt loosing that stuff too .
2) Yeh, True that! even in my country there isn't any network provider who gives unlimited data without F.U.P .but i have unlimited high speed broadband connection which is also converted to Wifi .

Man, since you can afford this exp... moreYou know, I think it is more proper to have an external hardisk of 1tb to backup everything from your phone. You never know when you will lose your phone or it get stolen. It will make your life difficult if you don't have backup for important data. I heard you hate the cloud storage too so, I don't expect you to use that as a backup storage.

Man, since you can afford this expensive half-baked Galaxy Note, you should have afforded CLOUD storage. I thought you said you have unlimited internet, and that you even download 4k content like 15Gb per file. You can have that synced with just cloud service AUTOMATICALLY with not even having to fuss in manually uploading your pictures or video.
It's NOT even a wireless portable (with it's built-in battery) that you've led us believe, but rather just a HDD connected to a router!
If 30 GB is the space you say you have left out of the 64 GB version, then it's not true at all to say that 32Gb version is or even 16 GB, as you dared told us would be "enough" for most people! It just means you would have maxed out your internal memory if you got the 32 GB version. Maybe that the version you got after all.
What a terrible way to endure having to manage media. With a memory expansion, and $75 for 128 GB microSD card, there's no need to endure such nonsense just to have a "premium" fragile glass back and use it as a financial status object.

And some other usefull stuff. And move the other things to my hardisks and a copy on my pc as a back up.
I do not generaly keep big tv series or movies stored in any drives i watch very selected things of my choice and delete that after watching it. But u have lots of songs though but they do not take that much of space may be 11gb as a maximum.with all hi res 320 kbps tracks.

With my older model, I don't have to, and I certainly have better battery management with a removable battery.
