ORBI App takes up too much storage (5+GB ) on Android
Any idea why ORBI app takes up whopping 5+GB space on Android? Here is the break up I get from Storage analyzer App - 163MB, Data - 5.26GB , Cache 483K - Total - 5.42GB How can I reduce th...
- I was contacted by NG community support and was requested to participate in beta version. I did and provided fix seemed to have resolved the issue. The storage consumption is now lt 200mb.
So the higher space consumption was related to the issue in the app.
Hopefully NG support may already reached out to you.
Thanks.

Same problem here! My orbi app took up 18GB of internal storage space! So I would d advise everybody to use the app and check if storage space on your phone is growing!
Cleared my data from the android orbi app. Then it went back to like 100mb or what ever.
Then used the app a lot again. 2 days later... internal storage data again 2 gig for the orbi app!(instead of 100 or so..)
Hope they can fix this soon! (This has noting to do with clearing cache). Also nothing to do with internet traffice data.
Pure local storage and the app seems to get bigger and bigger untill your phone is full.
