Re: ORBI App takes up too much storage (5+GB ) on Android
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.
Re: ORBI App takes up too much storage (5+GB ) on Android
Mine shows 215Mb on my Android Galaxy Tab S2.
"Data - 5.26GB , Cache 483K - Total - 5.42GB" I believe is what the Total storage available to the app. Data Usage or User Data means how much storage was used by the app. Mine shows Data Usage 134Mb/49.10Gb used since Jan 24. Meaning it used up 134MB of 49Gb of free data.
Storage
215MB/32.00Gb of internal storage used meaning the app takes up 215MB of the 32Gb available free space on my pad.
Re: ORBI App takes up too much storage (5+GB ) on Android
Closing the app and deleting the data helped. Its now in MBs. However , I was not able to get the app to connect to wifi somehow , so I have to use Anywhere connection in order to see my already set up ORBI devices.

I put this down to a poorly written app. (This is, after all, Netgear ,sigh.)
I have the Orbi app on two android devices (1 phone, 1 tablet)
Both have a total storage of under 210MB.
BUT...and this is a BIG BUT, I almost never open the Orbi app. I use the Orbi web interface many times each day, and can go weeks without opening the app.
Re: ORBI App takes up too much storage (5+GB ) on Android
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.
